Photograph of a lit temple interior with an arched golden frame framing a pair of gilded deity murtis seated together on a raised platform. Both figures wear purple and yellow garments, floral garlands in red, yellow and white, and ornate crowns; one holds a staff-like sceptre. A brass kalasha-style vessel sits before them, and a small oil lamp burns on a stone altar below. Red and orange drapes hang behind, and dark metal railings with banana-leaf decorations line a central aisle leading toward the shrine. No people are clearly visible in the foreground beyond a partially visible figure at the left edge.
