A photograph of a pair of gilded deity murtis seated side by side on a red silk-draped throne under an ornate gold arch. The figure on the left wears a red turban, a trident-shaped staff rests against him, and he is adorned with jeweled silver-embellished garments, rudraksha-style beads and a jeweled necklace. The figure on the right wears a blue embroidered sari, a tall jeweled crown and a red pendant necklace, and holds a small green-leafed stem. Red and yellow flower garlands drape both figures. A brass oil lamp with a lotus-like base stands at the left edge, and a brass vessel with flowers appears at the right. The scene is deity murti decoration, not living people.
