A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti pair in the centre: a male figure with a tall red and gold crown, holding a trident-like staff, and a female figure in a blue and magenta sari with gold jewellery, both draped in marigold and yellow garlands. A ceremonial shrine sits in front with a decorated kalasha-like object and a flower garland. Ornate grey stone pillars frame the scene with red curtains and brass oil lamps on either side. In the foreground, one person in a white shirt and saffron-yellow shawl stands at the rail with an arm raised toward the murti, appearing to perform worship or a blessing gesture. A faint portrait of a robed figure in orange appears on the lower altar area.
