A photograph of a golden deity murti shrine rotated sideways, framed by an ornate gold arch against deep red drapery. Two golden murtis sit side by side: the figure on the right wears a crown, bears a trident and holds a golden staff, while the figure on the left has a bulbous golden headdress. Both are adorned with yellow and magenta flower garlands. Before them stands a golden kalasha-style lamp stand and a pink and green cloth backdrop. Brass oil lamps and a small offering vessel sit at the left edge. No people are visible; the statues are the sole subjects.
