A night photograph of a decorated deity murti in an illuminated temple setting. Two seated figures sit on a raised golden-arched shrine: the central figure wears an orange turban and layered white and gold necklaces, while the figure beside wears an orange-and-gold garment and a tall crown. Both are draped in long garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers. Blue drapery backs the shrine, and small string lights of multicolored bulbs hang above. In the foreground a silhouetted person sits facing the murti, and a small crowned figure sits on a stand at the lower right.
