A photograph of a temple sanctum showing a golden-hued deity murti of a seated god and goddess under an ornate golden arch against a turquoise curtain. The male figure wears an orange turban, orange-gold garments and a heavy gold necklace and holds a trident-like staff. The female figure wears a red and gold blouse, a gold necklace and a flower in her hair. A white-covered lingam-shaped form sits before them, surrounded by bananas, yellow lemons, tomatoes, green chillies and white flowers arranged on a platter, consistent with an abhishekam or puja offering. A small figure in white clothing stands at the right edge beside a brass lamp stand. No physical people are seated in the foreground as the main subjects.
