A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a standing person in long loose orange-saffron robes with long dark wavy hair, seen from behind and partly in profile, placing or adjusting a garland at the gilded golden arch of a deity pair. Two gilded murti figures sit in front of a teal backdrop: the left figure wears a red-orange turban with a jewelled crest, a ruby pendant, layered gold and jewel necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala; the right figure wears a gold crown, red and gold garments and layered ornaments. Both are draped with yellow, purple and green flower garlands. In the foreground a tall golden kalasha-style vessel with a green-and-orange draped cloth and dangling gold decorations stands on the ledge. The person is the only physical human visible, so one figure is present.
