A photograph of a gilded murti of a seated deity couple within a golden arched niche draped with red fabric. The male figure wears a red and pink turban, a rudraksha-style garland and gold ornaments, holding a trident and a staff, and sits on a red cloth-covered seat. The female figure beside him wears a gold crown, layered white and silver necklaces and gold jewellery. Yellow and purple flower garlands hang over both figures. In front are a tall brass oil lamp and a golden kalasha-like vessel, with a golden cobra-hooded ornament at right. The setting is a stone temple structure with carved pillars and a green tree in the background. This is a deity murti, not a living person.
