fun fact: 
The marble structure with floral inlay derived from Islamic architecture, though the shrine is Hindu.

digital description: 
A six-armed warrior goddess stands enthroned and enshrined, ready to fight for her devotees. Her weapons include a sword, discus, shield, bow, and arrow. Two popular Hindu divinities flank her as attendants: the monkey Hanuman and elephant-headed Ganesha with his rat mount. The goddess’s vehicle, the tiger, stands alert on a pedestal in front of the shrine.
