A photo inside a temple shrine showing a golden-framed deity murti, painted in a metallic face with a crown, holding a trident and dressed in a blue silk garment with a gold-embroidered border, draped with orange and white marigold and rose garlands. A man with a bare, tattooed upper body and white dhoti sits cross-legged at left, palms pressed together in prayer, wearing rudraksha beads. In front are a golden bowl of red roses and yellow flowers, small oil lamps on a blue cloth, a red-draped offering and a small figure. Shelves of books and a red cloth backdrop complete the setting.
