A photograph of two metal deity murtis seated side by side amid dense floral decoration. The figure on the left wears an orange turban, a maroon dhoti-style cloth, and layered gold and jewelled necklaces, with one hand raised in abhaya mudra and the other holding a ritual object. The figure on the right wears a tall jewelled crown, a maroon sari and heavy bridal-style jewellery, with bangles on the arm. Both are framed by garlands of purple flowers, yellow marigold strands and red roses, with a green leafy backdrop. These are statues, not living people, and the image is an archive photograph of a temple-style decorated deity display.
