Two gilded statues of a deity couple, Shiva and Parvati, stand in a shrine decorated with dense garlands of marigolds, roses and green leaves in red, yellow, purple and white. The male figure wears an orange turban, rudraksha beads and gold jewellery, and holds a trident and a small drum. The female figure wears a blue sari, a jewelled crown and a long gold necklace, and holds a green bead garland. A rainbow-coloured floral arrangement and an orange cloth sit in front of them, with an orange and gold canopy above. These are statues, not living people.
