Photograph of a gilded temple shrine with an ornate golden arch framing a pair of seated deity murtis dressed in gold and jewelled ornaments. The left figure holds a trident and a ritual object, the right holds a raised hand, both with orange and red headwear and bejewelled necklaces. In front stands a large golden kalasha-like lingam-shaped form draped with garlands of yellow, white, red and purple flowers. A small white-clad figure sits at the base in front of the shrine, with a rudraksha-style mala and white shawl, and brass oil lamps and a small brass pyramid object stand nearby. Blue and gold drapery backs the shrine.
