The seated male figure, a metal deity murti, wears an orange turban and holds a trident, with white dhoti and orange shawl, and an ornate ornate silver breastplate. Beside him a female murti in a red and gold skirt with a crown and long necklaces stands. Red and white garlands drape both figures. At right, an orange curtain and a brass oil lamp stand. No living persons are visible, so the figures are statues.2011-09-17Two gilded deity murti figures seated side by side within a golden arched shrine niche against a dark blue backdrop. The male figure wears a multicoloured green, pink and red turban, holds a trident and a staff, and wears layered silver and jewelled necklaces with a pink and magenta cloth, with a blue and pink silk skirt draped below. The female figure wears a purple blouse, a turquoise blue skirt with gold border, a gold headdress and layered gold necklaces, and holds a small object. Both are garlanded with white jasmine and multicoloured flower strands.
