Two metal murti statues in a temple at night, decorated with heavy white jasmine garlands woven with yellow and red flowers. The left figure holds a red flower in an open-palm mudra and wears a silver-and-gold necklace and a striped head covering; the right figure wears a crown-like headdress and a silver necklace, holding a white flower. Both are silver-toned statues, not living people, lit by a bright light above. Carved temple pillars frame the scene.
