Photograph of a gilded murti pair seated on a red satin-draped throne before a red velvet backdrop within an ornate gold arch. The male deity form wears a red and pink turban, a trident in one hand and a ceremonial staff, with a rudraksha mala and layered necklaces; the female form wears a crown, multi-strand jewelled necklaces and a nose ring. Both are garlanded with yellow and purple flower strands. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge and a gold-decorated object appears at the lower right. The figures are statues, not living people, so no people are counted.
