Close photograph of two gilded murti figures seated side by side in a decorated shrine or procession setting. The figure on the left wears an orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a red garment, and a heavy diamond-studded necklace; he holds a golden staff. The figure on the right wears a gold crown, a red and gold sari, and layered jewelled necklaces with earrings. Both are adorned with white jasmine garlands and multicoloured flower garlands, and a gold snake-hood canopy with a red fabric backdrop frames them. These are deity murtis, not living people.
