A photograph of a shrine arch framed in gilded floral relief holding a standing deity pair in painted metal or murti form: the male figure wears a green, orange and white turban, silver necklaces and holds a trident, while the female figure wears a crown, a purple garment and silver ornaments. Both are garlanded with long yellow and magenta flower strands. In front sits a seated figure, shown in a white statue or mannequin form, in an orange-brown robe with a rudraksha-style mala and a folded orange head wrap, positioned on a white-draped seat. Brass oil lamps, a lamp stand, a small kalasha-like brass vessel and flower offerings sit on a wooden table in the foreground. No living people are visible.
