A stone shrine with carved pillars and a golden arch houses a pair of deity murti statues draped in multicolored marigold and flower garlands. The central figure wears an orange turban and ornate necklaces, seated beside a consort in a pink sari with a dark headpiece. A small orange-robed figure sits at the base of the shrine on a stone platform, and a red-and-white cloth frames the arch. Red curtains hang at the sides beneath painted banners with floral patterns. No physical people are in the foreground, though partial figures appear at the right edge.2008-03-25A photograph of a decorated shrine with a golden arch and grey stone pillars under an open pavilion.
