A photograph of a temple shrine with a deity murti pair seated on a golden throne beneath an ornate gold arch. The seated figure on the left wears an orange turban and holds a trident, while the figure on the right wears a tall crown and gold-coloured garments. A large brass lingam-shaped vessel sits in front of them on the platform, draped with yellow and purple marigold garlands. Tall brass oil lamps flank both sides of the shrine, and small brass bowls and offerings lie on the floor below. A red curtain and grey carved stone pillars frame the scene. The image appears to show a deity murti shrine rather than a living person.
