Photograph of a golden-framed shrine with a red curtain behind two large deity murtis seated together on a raised platform. The figure on the left wears a red and orange turban, a rudraksha-style bead mala, a long garland and holds a trident, with a silver staff; the figure on the right wears a gold crown, white flower garlands and holds a golden staff. Both wear green and red-orange silk garments. In front, a small red-clad figure sits before a garland-draped kalasha-like offering, flanked by brass oil lamps on stands and a railing on either side of a stepped approach. No physical people are visible.
