A photograph of a festive pooja arrangement inside a shrine niche framed in dark wood. Three standing deity murti figures stand on gold-edged pedestals before a gilded arch: the left figure wears a green sari, the centre figure a purple sari with a golden crown, and the right figure a blue sari, all adorned with layered necklaces and white-and-pink flower garlands. In front stands a silver kalasha-shaped vessel draped with garlands, flanked by two smaller figures in garlands, with a brass plate of fruit and a small oil lamp at the lower left. No people are visible.
