Photograph inside a temple sanctum of a silver-framed deity murti with a face of silver and red-painted features, draped in a black cloth with gold border and heaped with marigold and mixed flower garlands. Three men attend: a priest in a red turban and saffron-orange clothing holds a brass oil lamp and ritual bell; a man in a white shirt holds his hands over the lamp's flame in worship; and at right a man with a shaved head, wire-rimmed glasses, a earring and saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala, cupping his hands toward the flame in aarti. Black cloth beneath the deity bears painted Hindi lettering, and a brass oil lamp with a lit wick sits in the foreground beside a covered silver offering vessel. Ornate silver railings surround the shrine.
