Photograph of a lit shrine interior at Sripuram, Hyderabad, with a dark-faced deity murti dressed in a gold and orange silk sari, adorned with a silver crown, necklaces and a floral garland. Rows of brass oil lamps and small lamps frame the shrine and gleam in the warm light. In front, a smaller seated figure garlanded with flowers sits on a decorated cloth before a brass lamp. Two lamp-holding figures stand at the lower corners of the frame. No living people are visible apart from partially seen attendants in the foreground corners, which are statues. The gold-toned walls bear an Om symbol on the threshold.
