Photograph of a temple shrine scene with ornate statues rather than living people. A large figure is dressed in white cloth with a gold waist belt, red and white rose garlands draped over both shoulders, layered rudraksha malas with a jewelled pendant, and an orange turban with a gold crown; the figure sits beneath a golden hooded cobra-shaped canopy. Beside it, a white statue in a yellow robe and yellow turban with a peacock feather, holding one hand raised in blessing and wearing bead bracelets and gold necklaces. A brass oil lamp stands in front, with red curtains and carved stone pillars behind.
