A figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair and a white flower garland stands with raised right arm before two large golden-faced deity murtis draped in flower garlands. The central murti wears a red and green turban, a jeweled crown and layered white stone necklaces; the murti on the right wears a jeweled crown, a red blouse and an orange sari with ornate necklaces and bangles. Yellow and red marigold garlands frame an ornate gold arch behind them. A hand holds a brass vessel with an oil lamp at lower left, and gold ornaments sit on a tray in front. The image is a photograph of a temple ritual.

A brass vessel is held at the lower left by a hand, and small lamps with white and green cones sit at the base.
