Photograph of two golden metal murti figures on a temple-style altar with carved gold pillars and a red curtain behind. The left figure is a male deity with a red-and-white turban and a red tilak on the forehead, wearing a white shawl with gold embroidery. The right figure is a female deity wearing a gold crown and ornate gold necklaces, with a red mark on the forehead. Both are garlanded with long pink flower garlands and white jasmine, and small green fruits are placed at their feet. Two men in white clothes stand at the sides adjusting the garlands; the man on the left wears an orange-saffron shawl and a wristwatch. Visible physical people are the two men; the figures on the altar are statues. A palm plant is at the left edge and a sign reads Sri Nithyanandeshwara above.
