A photograph of a temple shrine showing a golden murti of a seated deity flanked by two standing attendant figures, all decorated with thick garlands of red, yellow, pink and white flowers. The central figure wears a gold crown, a rich gold necklace and a heavy beaded mala, and holds a ceremonial implement. Two brass oil lamps with lit flames stand at the sides, a brass vessel and offerings sit at the base, and the carved stone walls frame the scene. No living people are visible; the figures are statues in a deity murti tableau.
