Photo of a temple shrine with a stone plinth in the foreground. A shaven-headed priest in a red-orange cloth sits cross-legged on the left, hands folded in prayer before a deity murti draped in a white and gold cloth, with garlands of marigold and red flowers, and an ornate gilded arch behind. A second figure in red-orange dhoti and shawl with long dark hair stands on the right, facing the shrine with palms pressed together. Brass oil lamps and offering plates sit on the plinth, and a smaller standing deity figure appears in an inner niche. Red and white painted walls and a tin roof show behind the open pillared hall.
