The taller bronze murti has four arms, a crown, a trident and a snake-like garland, with a pink flower on its head; beside it a smaller bronze figure in a red cloth wears a crown with a pink flower. Behind them is an orange backdrop with a painted portrait of a figure in a yellow turban, a gilded ornate shrine and red-cushioned seats. Printed Tamil text appears on the backdrop.2015-05-05A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with dense garlands of yellow, orange, white and pink flowers. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and bare feet, holds a flaming lamp or fire toward two large deity murtis seated side by side, both adorned with gold crowns, gold jewellery and red-and-gold garments. A small brass murti and a brass lamp sit in front of the shrine, with white cloth on the floor. Hung flower strands frame the shrine on both sides.
