Photograph of a richly decorated temple shrine inside a gilded arch with a red velvet backdrop. Two large metallic deity murtis stand above: a male figure with a red turban, crown, trident and yellow dhoti, and a female figure in a magenta and green sari, both adorned with jewelled necklaces and garlands of yellow and red flowers. Between them sits a dark-faced deity murti wearing a green-and-red cloth turban with a golden crown. Before the altar, a small white marble figure in orange robes and a white flower garland sits with hands raised, surrounded by brass lamps, kalasha pots and offering bowls on a white cloth. No living people are visible.

A gilded arched shrine with a red curtain houses a large golden deity murti of Shiva, holding a trident and wearing an orange turban and ornate jewelry, beside a golden goddess figure in a pink and purple sari. In front, a seated white marble figure dressed in red-orange robes and a saffron-orange turban, adorned with red and pink flower garlands, sits on a throne-like seat. Yellow and purple marigold garlands drape the shrine. Brass vessels, a kalasha-style pot and an oil lamp sit on the altar in front. No physical people are visible; the statues are the only figures.
