A photograph taken through a rectangular stone window opening in a dark wall, framing two gilded statues inside a temple shrine. On the left, a seated male deity murti wears a tall crown, white dhoti and shawl, strings of beads and a rudraksha-style necklace, and raises one hand in a gesture. Beside him sits a female deity murti in a green and maroon sari with a jewelled necklace and a tiered crown, holding a small object. Grey granite walls and a pillared ceiling surround them. The statues are not living people, so no physical people are present.
