A photograph of a decorated shrine at night. A large gilded arch frames deity murti seated on a raised dais, with a red-and-gold crowned goddess figure and a smaller seated figure draped in a red and white cloth. Garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers hang across the figures and the dais. Two ornate seated murtis in the foreground, one in red and gold sari-style dress and one with an elephant head in white and red garments and a crown, are also garlanded. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, with red curtains and green coconut-laden foliage behind. No physical people are visible.
