The two figures wear red and gold garments, crowns and silver ornaments, and are garlanded with marigold and multicolored flower garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and brass vessels, offering plates and a kalasha sit on the stone floor in front. Red curtains hang at the sides and string lights are visible overhead. No people are visible in the scene.

Photograph of an ornate stone temple shrine with a carved archway and pillars. At the centre sits a red-painted statue of a male deity wearing a red crown and a seated female figure beside him, both adorned with garlands of yellow marigolds, purple and red flowers. Below them stands a dark stone linga draped in flower garlands, with brass oil lamps on either side and brass pots, offerings and a white cloth on the platform. Red and orange curtains frame the shrine. No living people are visible, so this is a temple deity scene rather than an event with attendees.

At the centre stands a deity murti with multiple arms and a crown, flanked by a consort figure in a red and gold garment. Two smaller attendant statues in red robes and garlands stand at either side. Below the central images is a large golden kalasha or lingam-shaped object wrapped in a garland, with brass oil lamps and a flower-covered base. A red velvet curtain hangs to the right of the niche.

A gold-framed shrine arch in a stone temple hall houses a pair of deity murtis seated on a throne, one with a crown and trident, the other in a red garment, both garlanded with multicolour flower strands. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and blue drapes frame the shrine. A small white and red figure with a garland sits in front, and a bell and kalasha-like object rest on the throne base. Fresh palm fronds and flowers decorate the space. No people are visible.

Brass oil lamps on tall stands line both sides, with a silver kalasha and offering plates with flowers and fruit in front.
