Interior view through a wooden temple doorway of a shrine in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, with a black-and-white checkered marble floor. A deity murti of a goddess stands on a lion mount, wearing a pink and gold garment, a white crown, and marigold garlands, holding a bow and other objects in her hands. She is framed by red and gold drapes, gold-patterned pillars, and a maroon backdrop. In front are brass and copper puja vessels, a kalasha-style pot, small oil lamps, a conch shell, plates with flower petals, and a bell. Colourful beaded strings and Ganesha and Om decorations hang on the door frame. No people are visible. A date stamp reads Jan 22, 2022 10:42:56, 8 Kalika Gali, Lahori Tola, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
