Photograph of a stone temple shrine with carved pillars. Inside an arched niche stands a bronze deity murti with a trident-like staff and a cobra or serpent motif, seated beside a consort figure in gold and red garments with garlands. A standing bronze figure in yellow cloth and marigold garland stands to the right. A large white-stone pedestal holds a bronze image wrapped in flower garlands and jewelled ornaments, with brass oil lamps and a silver vessel in front. Orange cloth and a leafy offering lie on the platform. A woman in a red sari kneels at the lower right edge, partly visible.

Beside it stands a smaller figure in a white and gold headdress with garlands. In the foreground, a seated man in saffron-orange robes with his hands in anjali mudra faces the shrine, with brass oil lamps, kalasha-like metal vessels and offerings in front. A second man with long dark hair and an orange shawl, bare-chested with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, stands at right with hands folded. Kumkum on his forehead is visible. The scene suggests puja or darshan at the shrine.
