A photograph of a temple shrine niche framed by pale marble and lit by a row of warm yellow bulbs around an orange arch. Inside stands a dark-complexioned deity murti draped in a red-orange silk dhoti with a gold waist ornament, a crown-like headdress, and a bare upper body. Beside it a white-clad priest in a white dhoti and shawl stands partly visible at the right, holding a pale green cloth that is draped over the shrine opening. Fresh flowers and offering items sit on the ledge in front. Two people are partially visible: the priest and no clearly separate devotee.
