A photograph of a temple interior with a dark silhouetted figure walking away from the camera along a central aisle flanked by metal barrier railings. The figure wears dark clothing and is in shadow. At the far end, a golden-framed shrine holds a red-draped deity murti with two figures adorned with garlands and gold ornaments; one holds a trident, and the figures are dressed in yellow and teal fabric. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and green mango-leaf festoons hang overhead. The figure is backlit and cannot be identified from appearance.
