A gilded photograph of a Shiva-Parvati murti pair seated together on a red and gold throne before an ornate golden arch with pink draped backdrop. The male deity wears an orange and red turban with a crown, holds a trident and damaru-like drum in raised hands, and is adorned with layered gold necklaces and a jeweled chest ornament. The female figure wears a green and red sari, a jeweled crown, and a long marigold and red garland. A silver rudraksha-and-bead mala hangs before them and brass oil lamps and a kalasha sit on the stone base in front. No physical people are present; the figures are statues.
