A photograph of a temple shrine with a large gilded arch framing a pair of painted deity murti seated side by side. The figure on the left has four arms, a red crown, and holds a drum-like instrument; the figure on the right wears a red-and-gold crown and a green-and-gold garment. Both are adorned with red and orange garlands and gold ornaments. Below them, a small silver murti and red-and-green cloth offerings sit on a low altar, flanked by brass oil lamps. A red and orange curtain hangs behind. At the lower right corner, a partly visible figure in an orange-saffron robe kneels or stands at the edge of the frame.
