A photograph of a golden-gilded temple shrine (gopuram-style structure) with carved stone pillars and a green curtain backdrop. At the centre sits a gilded deity murti seated with a trident in hand, adorned with white and gold necklaces, a golden crown and garlands of orange and white flowers draped across the figures. Above, a painted arch shows two seated deities on a mountain, flanked by white and gold decorated bulls (nandi) on the roof. A small shrine figure and a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti with a rudraksha-style garland stand at the right edge, partly visible, while a few other figures in red and orange clothing appear at the sides. Trees and red-pillared canopy surround the shrine.
