A photograph of an ornate stone shrine facade with golden arched niches, where a shiva-shakti deity murti sits on a throne-like peetha in the centre. The central pair are dressed in jewelled ornaments, garlands of white and red flowers, and a green-and-gold sari. Two standing statues flank the arch, one in a red turban with a red garment and garlands, the other in a dark-brown shawl with a rudraksha mala and white flower garland. Golden kalasha-type lamps and brass oil lamps stand on the ground, and a crowd of devotees with bald and turbaned heads fills the foreground. A string of small lights and orange thread stretch across the top of the shrine, and a red-and-gold cloth hangs at the right edge.
