Night photo of a small roadside shrine with an illuminated deity murti decorated with yellow and green garlands, set in an open cabinet-style niche. A purple cloth covers part of the altar, with brass items and a red-orange cloth on a low wooden stand in front. Several people stand close around it: a man in white kurta at the centre, a figure in an orange top at right with flower garlands, and others in dark clothing in the foreground, some partly cut off at the edges. A patterned wall and tiled roof frame the scene.
