Two metal murti figures are seated side by side under an orange draped canopy in a temple shrine. The figure on the left, with a red turban and a trident-like weapon raised in one hand, wears a teal garment with a pink cloth below and is draped in red and yellow flower garlands with purple accents. The figure on the right wears a tall ornate crown, a white pearl necklace and a red-and-yellow flower garland, and holds a trident beside a gilded arch. Both are adorned with heavy jewelry and kumkum on the forehead. No living people are visible, so this is a photograph of deity murtis decorated for worship.
