Photograph of an ornately decorated temple interior with white and multicoloured mosaic-tiled arches and niches. Three framed deity murti are lit from above in glass-fronted shrine alcoves: the central and left figures are painted goddesses with multiple arms, one seated on a lotus and holding objects, the figure on the left shown with a lion-like mount. A yellow sign reads photography is strictly prohibited in Hindi and English. A yellow notice at lower left asks devotees not to throw flowers and prasad on the murti and to use the plate. A small orange plaque sits beside the central shrine. No people are visible.
