A temple shrine with a large carved stone arch framing three sculpted figures. The central seated figure wears an orange-red garment and a red crown with a gold headpiece, holding a trident. Beside it stands a sculpted figure in gold-coloured clothing with a tall crown, and a garland of red and yellow flowers drapes the central figures. In front sits a smaller seated figure in orange robes and a light blue headdress, with a rudraksha-style mala, beneath brass oil lamps, bowls and offerings. To the right stands a statue in lavender-purple robes with a turban and a mala, holding its hands together. Gold-coloured drapes hang behind the shrine. Nobody is physically present in the scene; all figures are statues.

Photograph of a temple shrine with a golden arch and carved grey stone pillars. Central figures are a pair of deity murti with red-orange faces and garlands, one holding a trident, seated behind a yellow and red flower-garlanded figure in orange and white robes with a rudraksha mala, seated on a white cushioned seat, with brass oil lamps and offerings in silver and brass vessels in front. To the right stands a statue in lavender robes and a purple head cloth with hands joined, and a smaller lavender-clad statue sits at left. Orange silk drapes hang behind. No living people are visible. The seated figure is a statue, not a physical person, and no clear identification is made.2011-07-26A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden arched frame and a teal curtain behind a central pair of large deity murtis, the left one with four arms holding a trident and an orange turban and orange drape, the right one with a crown and a purple-blue garment.
