A photograph of a stone shrine with carved pillars and a gold-framed arch behind two large deity murtis with painted faces and garlands of yellow and purple flowers. The taller figure on the left wears a red turban, a gold crown and a red-and-white cloth, and holds a gold object in one raised hand. The figure on the right wears a tall crown, an orange garment and a white shawl. Tall gold oil lamps stand on either side, and a small gold shrine lamp with a seated figure sits at the lower right. The murtis are statues, not people, so no physical people are present.
