A photograph of a golden deity murti pair in a shrine, framed by a gold arch and draped lilac silk backdrop. The left figure wears a red-orange turban with a crescent moon and a tilak, holds a trident and a damaru, and wears layered gold necklaces and a purple garment. The right figure wears an ornate white-and-gold crown, gold earrings, a black hair braid, and garlands of white jasmine and red flowers. Crescent-moon and tilak iconography suggests Shiva and Parvati murti; the tilak and crescent are clear while the exact form is not certain.
