Two golden deity murtis stand in a gilded shrine-like structure with carved pillars, draped in white and green cloth and wreathed with garlands of marigolds, roses and white flowers. The figure on the right holds a staff and wears an orange and red garment with a crown-like headdress. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt bends forward at the lower left, holding a bell and a small brass vessel, apparently performing a ritual offering in front of the murtis. Flower garlands are draped across the foreground and a red curtain hangs behind the shrine.

The murti on the left wears a tall crown and a gold necklace; the one on the right wears a crown and a sari-like red and purple cloth. A single person in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands at the left edge, facing the shrine and touching a garlanded murti with one hand, as if performing a puja or padapuja. A small kalasha or lamp with flowers sits at the base. Green cloth covers the platform and a red backdrop fills the canopy behind the figures.2006-09-30October 10 20062006-10-10A photograph of a golden shrine in an outdoor ritual setting.
