Photograph of a golden statue pair seated on a throne in an outdoor temple-style setting beneath a wooden canopy with a red curtain behind. The seated male figure wears white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a gold-coloured face with a red bindi, and multiple gold necklaces, raising one hand in blessing. Beside him stands a female figure in a bright yellow-orange silk sari with silver and gold jewellery, a red bindi and a green waist ornament, holding a lotus-like object. A small golden deity murti sits in front on a green cloth with a red offering cloth. Trees and a vehicle appear in the background. A computer-printed date stamp reading 21 10 2006 runs along the left edge.
