A photograph of a stone shrine with a golden arched frame holding a deity murti pair, adorned with marigold and yellow garlands, and brass oil lamps standing in front on a stone platform. Red-and-orange drapes hang at the sides. On the left, a man in saffron robes stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, and on the right a woman in an orange sari-style garment stands with hands folded. A figure in white clothing is partly visible at the far left edge.

A woman in an orange sari with a red-and-white garland stands with her back to the camera, facing a shrine in a stone temple hall. The shrine holds a large deity murti with a golden crown, dark-green and red garments, and a garland of yellow and orange flowers, seated beside a consort figure in green and pink. Before the murti sits a smaller figure in white and orange with a gold-belted waist, also garlanded. Brass oil lamps on tall stands, a kalasha-style brass vessel, and a small puja plate sit on the stone platform. Red curtains frame the shrine and carved stone pillars rise on either side.

A person in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair stands with hands folded in front of a stone shrine at night, facing a deity murti in red garments, adorned with marigold garlands and a gold crown, with a trident-like staff. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone platform and a small white-clad figure sits on the plinth before the murti. Red curtains hang beside carved stone pillars, and a striped orange-and-white wall is visible at right.

Two standing devotees in white clothes and a yellow shawl face the shrine, one raising a hand toward the lamp. A third person in an orange sannyasi-style garment stands at the right, hands raised in worship. Brass lamps flank the altar, and a small lamp sits on the floor in front. Red curtains and carved pillars frame the scene.

Brass oil lamps and a small brass lamp stand on the shrine platform and in the foreground.

Two deity murtis stand within the arch, draped in marigold and red flower garlands, and the central figure wears a red crown and ornate jewellery. In front, a seated priest in an orange cloth and a white-clothed attendant sit beside brass oil lamps, a brass kalasha and small bowls, performing puja. Blurred foreground figures in white and dark clothing are partly visible.
