A photograph through an open glass-and-metal door of a small shrine alcove with marble walls and a gold-toned arched frame. Inside stands a dark stone deity murti dressed in white and gold-bordered cloth, with a rudraksha-style mala and white garland, and a pink flower at its top. Brass oil lamp and three brass vessels sit on a low bench before it, with petals on the ledge. On the left, one person in an orange-red garment with gold border and gold necklace stands with hands folded, facing the shrine, a tilak on the forehead. The person's face and identity are not established, so the a person field is unsure.
