A photograph inside a temple shrine with dark stone deity murtis arranged on red-edged black pedestals, several draped in white, yellow, green and blue cloths. A central figure in a bare-chested pose with a flower garland and a white and gold cloth stands with hands folded in namaskar, flanked by men in orange, white and saffron dhotis and ochre shirts, one wearing a gold necklace. Small oil lamp flames and scattered flower petals lie on the floor before the murtis. Several devotees stand at the sides and in the background, some holding offerings.
