Photograph of a shrine with a seated deity murti, a goddess with multiple arms and a tall silver crown, dressed in a magenta and gold silk sari and layered white and gold necklaces. Behind her a floral arch of yellow, red, white and green garlands frames the figure beneath an ornate silver arch. Two brass oil lamps with peacock-shaped tops flank the murti, and a smaller green-clad figure sits below on a gold yantra-like base. On the left a man in white dhoti with a yellow shawl stands at the side, and on the right a woman in a white sari adjusts a pink silk cloth near the deity. Decorated striped pillars stand at both edges.
