Photograph of a shrine niche framed by gilded arch with red drapery. Two gilded deity figures sit above: the left figure holds a trident and wears a multicoloured braided turban, the right figure wears a brown sari and a white flower braid, both draped in gold necklaces and yellow garlands. Below, a white marble figure of a seated man in orange robes with folded hands and a rudraksha mala is garlanded and set on a golden base, with a white-clad figure visible behind. Brass vessels, a lamp and offering plates sit on a white-draped altar in front. Statues only; no physical people visible, and the marble figure is a depiction rather than a physically present candidate, with no legible identifying caption.
