A photograph of a temple shrine with a large golden-bodied deity murti seated on a throne, wearing a red and gold turban-style crown, garlands of red flowers and beaded necklaces, holding a trident-like staff and other implements. The murti is set within a gilded arch against green draped fabric. Beside it, a smaller statue in an orange and brown garment wearing a white flower garland stands in its own arch. Brass oil lamps, brass bowls with offerings and fruit, and a red-and-orange cloth fill the foreground. No living people are visible.

Between them sits a small Shiva lingam with a flower garland.
