A shrine photograph showing a blue-skinned deity murti of Shiva-Vishnu form... no. The main pair are two gilded and painted deity murtis seated together on a throne-like seat with a snake hood and gem-tipped frame. The figure on the left is blue-skinned, wearing a jeweled crown, red and gold garments, layered gold necklaces and holding a trident and weapons; the figure on the right has golden skin, a black-and-gold crown, red draped clothing and a bow. Both are garlanded with red and yellow flower strands. Below, a small white stone-like statue of a seated saint wears an orange robe and orange headwrap with a pendant necklace, before a white cloth draped over an altar. Brass oil lamps stand on either side within a gold arched frame against a green backdrop, with brass puja vessels and lamps in the foreground.
