A photograph of a temple shrine with two deity murtis seated on a raised pedestal, one painted with white and gold and the other in a green and red sari-like garment, both wearing ornate crowns and necklaces. Red velvet curtains frame the open pavilion, and a tall brass oil lamp stands at the right. In front, a seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and sits on a white plastic chair, while a second man in an orange robe kneels on the platform, holding a ritual implement over offerings in brass vessels, apparently performing puja. The setting is outdoors among trees.
