A photograph of a decorated ceremonial shrine under a white tent canopy with red roof struts. Two figures, a male and a female deity murti dressed in richly patterned silk, sit on a golden draped cloth before an ornate copper-coloured arched frame with a striped serpentine arch behind them. The statues wear jeweled crowns and necklaces; the male figure has a blue garment and the female a green and red sari-style dress. Orange paper lanterns, a blue hanging bowl and orange foliage decorate the canopy. Partially visible at left is a bare-chested man in orange-striped dhoti with a rudraksha mala. Red carpet covers the floor, and a purple bag sits at lower right.
