A photograph of a temple shrine featuring a large image of a deity pair seated on a raised red-draped platform beneath an ornate golden arch. The central deity figure has dark skin, a tall crown-like headdress, and holds a trident; the seated consort wears a green and gold sari with a jeweled headdress and garlands. Two attendant statues flank the arch, one in a red turban and orange-brown dhoti with a white garland, the other with a dark head covering and tiger-striped garment, both with garlands of white flowers. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides, and a decorated yantra-like object with garlands sits before the figures. No living people are visible.
