Two gilded statues, a male and a female deity murti, are seated side by side on a golden throne within a gilded temple niche with a red curtain behind them. The male figure wears a white dhoti and white headcloth, a bare chest with layered gold and silver necklaces, and raises one hand in blessing; the female figure wears an orange and red sari with green border and matching silver and gold necklaces, and holds a ritual object. A yellow cloth drapes the throne base, and black speakers flank the bottom edges. No living people are visible, so this is a photograph of statues rather than an identifiable person.
