A photograph of a shrine with two gilded murti statues seated on a raised platform before a red and gold curtain within an ornate golden arch. The male figure wears an orange turban with a blue beaded band, holds a trident in one hand, and wears rudraksha beads and gold jewellery. The female figure wears a dark crown, gold earrings and necklaces, and a purple skirt, and both are garlanded with yellow and red flowers. These are deity murti rather than living people, so no physical people are present.
