A photograph of two ornately decorated metal murtis displayed within a gilded arched frame with a green silk backdrop. The taller figure, standing on a pink base, wears an orange turban, a crown, layered jewelled necklaces, a long garland of white flowers with red blossoms, and holds a staff with a decorated top, with a small bird-shaped object at its base. Beside it stands a second murti in a red sari with a tall jewelled crown and white flower garland. These are deity murti displayed for worship; no living people are visible and no identifiable a person figure is shown, as the murtis are statues.
