Photograph of a seated pair of golden deity murtis, a male figure with red turban, trident and snake-topped staff and a female figure in a turquoise embroidered sari with a parrot in her raised hand, seated before a red drape inside a gilded arch. Both wear jewelled crowns, rudraksha malas and heavy gold necklaces. Red and yellow marigold garlands hang on both sides and a golden snake-hooded linga-shaped form with a kalasha-like arrangement sits in the foreground.

A golden-skinned pair of deity murti seated side by side on a red-draped throne within an ornate gilded arch. The male figure wears a red turban, a blue and gold garment, and ornate jewelled necklaces and a rudraksha mala, holding a trident and a damaru-like staff with a snake. The female figure wears a blue silk sari with gold border, heavy jewelled necklaces and a tall jewelled crown, and holds a green parrot on her raised hand. Both are draped with garlands of yellow and red flowers. In front, a golden kalasha-like vessel and a snake-hooded metal canopy sit on a red cloth before a white-cloth altar, with floral garlands hanging to the base.

A photograph of a shrine with a gilded arched frame and teal backdrop holding a seated deity murti pair: a figure with a green and gold turban, red garment, layered jewelled necklaces and a trident in one hand, beside a female figure in a green sari with a white flower garland and a jewelled crown. Both are covered in ornaments. Garlands of red, white and yellow flowers hang down the front. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and smaller figures and flower offerings sit on the lower platform. The scene looks like a temple darshan setting.
