A temple shrine photograph showing a deity murti of a seated god and goddess in a decorated niche, the male figure in orange and red with a crown, holding a trident and a staff, and the female figure in red and gold with a crown and jewellery, both framed by a garland arch of yellow marigolds, red and purple flowers and green leaves. A cobra hood stands above a golden base, with brass oil lamps (diyas) on both sides and a gold-framed torana arch overhead. In front, a small white-clothed seated figure in orange robes sits on a white draped platform with brass lamps and offering bowls; the figure is a statue or small murti rather than a physical person. No physical people are present in the scene.
