A photograph of a golden deity pair seated under an ornate gilded arch against a red drape. The left figure wears a pink and red turban, a trident-like staff, and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces; the right figure wears a tall gold crown and layered jewelled necklaces. Both sit on a red satin skirt-like draping. Between them rises a gold kalasha-shaped linga with a serpent hood, and a yellow and purple marigold garland hangs across the arrangement. In front, a white figure in a turquoise garment and pink garland sits with hands folded, beside brass oil lamps with lit wicks and small brass vessels. The setting appears to be a temple shrine; the figures are deity murti and statues, not physical people.
