Two black stone deity murtis stand in gold arched shrines draped with purple and blue silks and flower garlands; the left one wears a purple skirt and a crown, the right one a green turban, white urdhva tilaka and layered necklaces. In the foreground a shirtless priest in white dhoti holds a smoking incense stick or lamp toward the deities, while another man in white dhoti and a shawl sits cross-legged at a microphone with his hands folded in prayer.
