A photograph of a temple shrine with brass oil lamps in the foreground. Behind them stands a gilded deity murti in a golden-yellow lower garment with a trident, and a murti in blue-green dress beside it. A white-clothed seated figure at centre sits on a white cloth-draped platform with red and yellow marigold garlands and a golden kalasha-like vessel. A standing figure in red garments with a garland stands on the right near a window. Figures are statues, not living people; no physical people are present.2016-08-25August 25 20162016-08-25 +1 copiesA shrine niche framed by an ornate gilded arch with a red curtain holds deity murti statues.
