A photograph inside a temple shrine with three deity murtis behind a golden arch, the central figure wearing a tall crown, layered jewelled necklaces and a white-and-gold dhoti, flanked by two smaller murtis adorned with garlands. A seated person in a rust-orange garment with a gold-bordered cloth and a shawl over the lap sprinkles pink petals toward the murtis. A brass lamp with a burning flame and a silver plate stand at the right, with an attendant in orange clothing holding the plate. A large white jasmine garland covers a central pedestal in front, and rose petals are scattered on the floor. The gold-yellow altar cloth and fresh flower garlands dominate the scene.

Pink, white and red flower garlands surround the statues and a silver-and-gold lingam or kalasha-like object is decorated with white jasmine garlands in front.
