Two men stand before a golden shrine with two large deity murtis in red and gold garments, one holding a trident and a lotus-like object. The man on the left has long swept-back dark hair, orange clothing and multiple garlands, and holds a golden oil lamp. Beside him stands an older shaved-headed priest in orange, wearing a white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, with his hands folded. A decorated lingam with flower garlands sits in front, with a shrouded orange object below. The setting is an ornate golden arch with green drapery. Partially visible text in the corner credits the photo to a person.
