A photograph of a shrine niche decorated for Diwali with strings of multicoloured fairy lights. At the centre stands a metal deity murti with a raised hooded cobra canopy overhead, a tall crown and a garland of yellow marigolds draped across it. The murti wears layered gold-toned necklaces and its hands are folded in namaste. Behind it an orange cloth backdrop and an ornate silver arch frame the niche. Tall brass lamp stands with rows of small oil lamps flank both sides, and a brass kalasha-like vessel sits at the lower left beside a red wooden door. No people are visible.
