Photograph of a pair of ornately decorated metal or gilded murti statues seated against a teal draped backdrop framed by gold carved arch. The male figure wears an orange turban and orange-saffron dhoti, multiple rudraksha-style beaded malas and a silver-tipped staff in one hand, with a crown above. The female figure wears a red blouse, yellow-orange skirt, a layered pearl necklace and a red flower in her hair. Both have ornate jewellery and bangles. The scene suggests a deity murti display in a temple setting.

Two golden deity murtis sit side by side on a raised platform before a deep red curtain framed by an ornate gold arch. The male figure wears an orange turban with a crescent ornament, a jewelled gold crown, a layered gemstone necklace with a green stone, and holds a trident-like staff in his raised left hand. The female figure wears a purple and orange sari, a tall jewelled crown and a nose ring, and holds a lotus-like object. Both are garlanded with yellow, purple and pink flower garlands. Before them is a gold plate with a row of small golden figurines and green stones, and a red offering. No physical people are visible.

A gilded shrine image of a deity pair seated within an ornate golden arched frame before a red drape. The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban and a dark rudraksha-style mala with green and red stones, holding a trident and a gold ritual implement. The figure on the right wears a tall gold crown and layered jewelled necklaces. Both are gold-coloured murtis. Garlands of yellow and magenta flowers hang from the shoulders, and a gold kalasha-like object with green gems stands in the foreground, with brass lamps on either side. This is a statue, not a living person.
