A photograph of a gilded murti of a seated deity pair on an elaborate shrine, with a golden arched frame above and blue satin drapery behind. The central male form wears an orange turban, rich jewelled necklaces and a patterned gold dhoti, holding a trident and other attributes in multiple hands. Beside him a female form wears layered jewellery and a red-and-gold sari. Garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold and red flowers hang across both figures. Below, a green-draped seated figure with rudraksha beads and a green turban receives the garlands, with the shrine's flowers and a folded green cloth in the foreground. A deity murti and devotional offerings dominate; no living people are clearly visible except a partially visible person at the far left edge.
