A photograph of a black stone deity murti seated in a gold-framed arched niche, with a yellow flower placed on its crown. A smaller seated figure is carved at its base, and a row of small oil lamps burns along the lower plinth. A bare arm wearing white bangles holds a brass bowl with a lit wick near the murti, apparently offering or pouring something. Water trickles down the dark stone. The wall behind is maroon-tiled. No person's face is visible and no a person candidate is present; the murti is a statue.
