A photograph of a shrine with decorated deity murti statues seated on a red-draped platform inside an ornate golden arched niche with a purple backdrop. The central figure has four arms, a red-and-orange turban-like crown, and holds a trident-like weapon, wearing a white and red garland and jewelled necklaces. Beside him stands a female figure in a purple and gold sari with a black crown and long garland. Two smaller attendant statues stand on either side, garlanded, one with a red cap and crescent, and brass oil lamps flank the shrine. Offerings of a decorated kalasha and a red garland sit in front. No physical people are visible.
