A photograph of a shrine-like setting with two life-sized gilded murti figures seated side by side on a raised platform, draped in green, blue and magenta cloth and garlanded with yellow and red flowers. The figure on the left wears an orange turban, white dhoti and layered gold necklaces, and holds a staff-like object; the figure on the right wears a red and gold sari and a crown-like headdress with a gold necklace. Before them stands a decorated green silk offering with a silver-patterned maroon panel, a rudraksha-style garland, and an arrangement of brass vessels, a kalasha-like pot, oil lamps, flowers and a conch-shaped object. A red velvet curtain forms the backdrop. These are statues, not physical people, so no people are present in the scene.
