A photograph of a Shiva-Parvati style deity murti pair seated on a red and gold peetha, dressed in red and orange silks with gold jewellery, a crown and a trident-like staff. Both figures are decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands and white jasmine strings framing the shrine. Below them in the foreground, a seated priest in a white dhoti and orange-and-gold shawl, with a white head covering and a rudraksha-style neck mala, sits facing the murtis with his hands folded. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a floral arrangement fills the lower left corner. The setting is a temple-style shrine with carved stone pillars.
