A photograph of an outdoor pavilion with grey stone pillars and red velvet drapes, showing a large pair of deity murti figures seated on a white-draped platform. The figures have dark skin, one wears a green and orange turban and purple lower garment with a green sash, the other wears a red blouse and ornate gold necklaces. A golden cobra hood sits above a central white linga on a golden yoni base, flanked by two brass oil lamps. On the left, seated men in orange and saffron robes and turbans attend the ritual, and on the right a bare-backed sadhu in orange cloth sits with an outstretched hand. A small deity figure stands in a niche on the right.

Two large deity murtis sit on a white draped platform: the male figure wears an orange-and-green turban, a jeweled necklace and a green and purple garment, and holds a staff; the female figure wears a red and gold blouse, a crown and a red-and-orange skirt, with a gilded peetha or throne behind them.
