A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti decorated with multicolored flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. A person in a long red-orange robe with long dark hair holds a brass lamp with a flame and incense smoke, performing aarti before the murti. Brass oil lamps and a brass kalasha-like vessel stand beside red drapes, and a smaller seated figure in orange robes and a red cap sits at the base of the shrine. The person's face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain and no specific claim is made.
