Photograph of a gilded arched shrine framed in ornate gold carving, with a green gold-speckled backdrop. Two deity murtis stand side by side: the figure on the left wears an orange turban, rudraksha-style and jewelled necklaces, holds a trident in one hand, and wears a crown; the figure on the right wears a tall ornate crown, a mustard-yellow dhoti and a saffron shawl, with a white flower garland. In front, a silver kalasha sits atop a black lingam draped in garlands of red flowers, white jasmine and rudraksha beads, indicating a worship offering. Tall brass-tone statues rise above the lingam, and the tiered gold gleam of the arch frames the whole scene.
