A photograph inside a white stone temple shrine showing two large decorated deity murtis seated side by side on an elevated platform. The figure on the left wears a green, red and orange turban, a green and purple silk garment, gold ornaments and a garland of yellow and red flowers, holding a ceremonial staff. The figure on the right wears a pink and gold sari, a gold crown and layered gold necklaces, with a garland draped over the shoulder. A deep blue embroidered cloth hangs behind them, a peacock fan is mounted at the upper right, and small coloured bunting hangs from the ceiling. At the right edge a person in white clothing stands near a floral garland and offerings on a white-draped table. Only partial human figures appear, and no identifiable a person is visible.
