Photograph of a shrine with a deity murti pair seated under a gold arch with green drapery. The larger deity figures have red and blue garments, crowns, rudraksha malas and garlands, one hand raised holding a staff-like object. A seated figure in orange and saffron robes with a garland sits on a red-and-orange cloth at the base, and a standing statue in orange and green clothes stands to the right beside a gold lamp stand. Tall brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a gold palanquin-style frame with garlands is at left. No physical people are visible.
