A photograph of a stone shrine at an outdoor temple setting, with blue cloth hung on the pillars. Inside the carved granite shrine stand deity murtis of a male and a female form adorned with garlands of marigolds and gold ornaments, behind a white-draped altar with brass lamps and offering vessels. A man in a white dhoti and shirt with a saffron-edged shawl bends low in front of the shrine, his face hidden from view, performing reverence. Trees and a red-and-white painted wall frame the scene, and a small figure stands in the background at right.
