A photograph of a decorated shrine altar with no visible people. Three gold-clad deity murtis stand at the back on a red and gold draped platform: a small figure in the center wearing a red sari and multi-strand garlands, flanked by two figures in gold ornaments. A gold brocade cloth with purple borders covers the altar table, holding brass oil lamps with lit flames, flower offerings, a brass conch-shaped vessel and incense sticks. In the foreground, a silver tray holds a brass bell, a small brass vessel, an apple and a matchbox, beside a brass lamp and a conch shell. On the floor, a green banana leaf plate holds white rice, a cooked vegetable dish, a cup of water, sliced fruit and a red rose, on a silver-bordered floral mat.
