A photograph of a decorated shrine before a temple sanctum. In the centre sits a small white seated figure, possibly a portrait or statue, wearing an orange robe, orange turban and a yellow-and-green-and-purple garland, its hand raised in blessing. Behind it stands a larger deity murti in red and gold dress with a crown-like headdress, flanked by a second seated figure in red robes and gold jewellery, all draped in long yellow, red, purple and green flower garlands. Before the shrine are brass pots, a kalasha, offering plates, bowls with flowers, and a brass oil lamp on the right. A white cloth and a wooden stand with a book lie to the left, and a small deity image sits on the far right. Stone pillars with carved patterns frame the scene, with red cloth hangings on either side. No living people are visible.
