A photograph of a temple shrine showing a seated deity murti of Shiva and Parvati on a red and magenta draped throne before an orange-red curtain and gilded arch. The central figure has four arms, holds a trident and a small drum, wears a rudraksha mala and a silver necklace, and has a leopard-print cloth over the head. The female figure beside him wears a green sari, a silver necklace and a garland of white flowers with red blossoms. Two attendant statues stand at either side, one in a red turban with a garland and one in a striped garment with a garland. A kalasha-like floral arrangement and offerings sit at the base. Figures are statues, not physical people.
