A photograph of a stone-pillared shrine with a golden arched frame. Two large deity murtis stand in the centre, one with a red and gold crown holding a trident-like staff and wearing gold necklaces, the other with a tall crown and garlands; both are decorated with marigold and purple-white flower garlands. In front, a smaller seated murti wears an orange cloth and a gold crown, with a white cloth draped over the altar platform. Brass oil lamps (deepas) stand on both sides, along with kalasha pots and brass vessels with offerings. A small green-robed figure appears to the right. Statues are not physical people, so the scene contains no visible people.
