Close view of temple deity murti figures inside a shrine. On the left, a golden-skinned figure in a green sari-style garment with a red-and-gold blouse and a heavy gold necklace holds one hand raised; a long braid hangs down. Beside it, a standing male statue with a black hair mass, a moustache, a white flower garland, rudraksha beads and a gold necklace wears a tiger-striped upper cloth and a rust-red dhoti, one hand raised in abhaya gesture and the other holding a small kalasha-style vessel. A seated figure in orange and gold drapes is decorated with white jasmine garlands, marigold and red flower accents, and a rudraksha mala. Statues, not physical people. Background shows green foliage and temple pillars.
