A photograph of a decorated temple shrine with golden-bronze deity murtis of Shiva and Parvati seated on a raised platform under an arch draped in orange cloth. The Shiva figure holds a trident and drum-like object, and both are adorned with gold jewelry and red-and-yellow marigold garlands. Below them, a central murti is heavily covered with red and pink flower garlands. To the right, a smaller statue in pink robes with a pink turban and yellow garland stands by a brass lamp. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues and the scene is a shrine setting with brass oil lamps and banana-stalk decorations.
