Photograph of a deity murti pair decorated with multicolour flower garlands in yellow, red, white, purple and green, wearing ornate jewelled crowns and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, set before a gilded arched backdrop. A man kneels at lower left with a bare upper body, white ash markings on his arms, a maroon turban and orange-brown shawl, offering green leaves at a tray. Oil lamps and flowers sit on the ritual tray in front, consistent with puja. The murti figures are statues, not people.
