A night-time photograph of a decorated open-sided vehicle shrine parked on a dark street, with string lights glowing at the edges. Inside the shrine stand three deity murtis, a central Shiva-form figure flanked by two female murtis, all adorned with rich jewellery, ornate crowns and dense garlands of marigolds and green leaves. Brass lamps and offerings of fruit sit on a gold cloth at the base. A large tree and a golden arch frame the back, and a printed photograph of a robed figure is pasted on the right door. A single person in dark clothing is faintly visible at the left edge. No identifiable a person depiction is present.
