A photograph of a temple shrine with a large gilded arch framing a pair of painted deity murtis standing in front of a green satin backdrop. The taller figure wears a red and orange turban, a jewelled necklace and garlands, and raises a hand holding a small object; the second figure wears a tall crown, a white bead necklace and a blue and green skirt. Both are draped with marigold and red rose garlands. Below them sits a silver-framed seated figure with a cobra hood over its head and a decorated throne, and to the right an alcove holds a figure in a yellow-orange cloth wrapped with a jasmine-and-marigold garland. Brass pots, lamps and offerings sit on the floor at left. No people are visible.
