Photograph of a temple altar with two golden statues decorated in ornate jewellery, garlands of red, white, yellow and green, and brown turbans. The standing statue on the left, raising one hand in blessing, wears a brown turban, a brown dhoti-like garment, layered beaded necklaces and a rudraksha mala. Beside it, a seated statue holds a staff and wears a brown turban, gold necklaces and a garland. Brass oil lamps and a brass bowl with small vessels sit on an orange embroidered cloth in front, with a red silk backdrop and a red curtain behind. These are statues, not living people.
