A photograph of an outdoor shrine with a large deity murti pair seated on a raised pedestal. Two painted figures stand side by side: the left one has a red and orange crown, holds a trident, and wears gold necklaces and yellow dhoti; the right one wears a crown with a blue-and-orange garment and gold ornaments. Yellow and orange cloth drapes the pedestal, garlanded with yellow and purple flower garlands, and a kalasha sits in front. Ornate gold arch frames the shrine, with grey stone pillars carved with figures and brass oil lamps standing to each side. A small framed portrait sits at the base, showing a man in saffron robes with a mala, though the photo gives no clear view of his face. No people are visible in the scene.
