Photograph of an ornate shrine inside a temple-like hall. Central seated figure, a deity murti with a multi-hooded cobra crown, dressed in orange and purple garments and adorned with jewelled earrings, is hung with a long garland of yellow, purple and magenta flowers. In front stands a white marble statue of a seated sage in orange robes and matching turban, hands raised near the face, with a rudraksha mala. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, with a brass vessel and offerings in the foreground. Carved gold-toned pillars frame the shrine. The statue is a depiction, not a physical person; no living people are visible.
