A photograph of a pair of gilded metal murti statues seated together under warm lighting in front of orange drapery. The male figure wears an orange turban, a dark blue garment with a silver-tone necklace, and a purple-and-gold sash, holding a trident. The female figure wears a white and green sari with gold borders, a silver crown, and holds a ceremonial staff. Both are adorned with white and yellow jasmine and red flower garlands. A kalasha-like brass object sits on a red cloth in front, and a banner above reads the Tamil names of the deities. These are deity murti, not living people.
