Both are draped in garlands of yellow marigolds with purple and white accents, and the arches around them are wreathed in flowers. In front stands a shivalinga-style form draped in white cloth and yellow flower garlands, with a silver tray, brass oil lamps and a sprig of flowers before it. Fruit offerings including bananas, oranges and apples are arranged on trays at the base, and grey stone pillars and red curtains frame the shrine. No physical people are visible.2007-01-01A photograph of a decorated temple shrine with two seated metal deity murti, one crowned figure with four arms holding objects and a consort figure in a green and maroon sari, both adorned with jewelled ornaments and garlands.

Behind him stand two larger golden deity statues: the left holds a trident and a raised hand, the right wears a green sari and a tall crown and holds a flower garland. In front, a small figure in white robes and a long rudraksha bead necklace sits on a stone base beside brass pots and offering bowls, with scattered petals on the floor. The scene is a statue and image display, not a live gathering.2013-12-04December 04 20132013-12-04December 02 20172017-12-02A photograph of two gilded deity murtis seated side by side under a stone pavilion, decorated for alankaram.
