Two large bronze-coloured deity murti stand together inside a temple shrine beneath a gilded arched frame with a dark blue curtain behind them.

A tall brass oil lamp stand and a cobra hood form part of the arrangement. To the right, a white-draped table and a small seated statue in green and white clothing sit beside palm trees under open sky.
