A decorated shrine at the Bidadi ashram during Jayanti Brahmotsavam celebrations. Two deity murtis stand under a golden arched niche: one with a crown, trident and white-and-red garments, and a consort figure in red and gold beside it. Both are heavily garlanded with long bands of red, orange and white flowers. Below them sits a silver-and-red vahana figure with flower garlands, and offerings, brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and trays of flowers and food are arranged on the marble platform. A white cushioned seat stands to the left and a blue cloth hangs in the background. No living people are shown except a partially visible person at the lower left edge in white clothing.
