A photograph of a golden temple shrine with two large gilded deity murtis seated behind a central figure. The left murti wears a red turban and blue garments and holds a sword, while the right murti wears a green sari and ornate jewellery and holds a staff. Both are garlanded with red flowers. In front, a seated figure wearing an orange-and-green cloth draped with a large red and white garland, with a crown-like golden headpiece, sits on a white cloth-covered seat. Below, a white figure in a green garment with a rudraksha mala sits beside brass oil lamps and kalasha-style brass vessels. No living people are clearly visible; the figures are statues and murtis.
