A photograph of a shrine setting with two large gilded metal statues seated side by side under an ornate golden arch. The foreground statue wears an orange-saffron robe, a tall crown and bangles, with one hand raised in blessing; the statue beside it wears a similar crown. Standing at either side are three living men in white dhotis and white shawls with red borders, wearing rudraksha malas, white and red ash marks on their foreheads and arms, and holding their hands together in prayer. Red drapes hang behind the shrine, and a small brass lamp stands at the lower left.
