Photograph of a seated pair of golden deity murtis on a purple-draped pedestal beneath an ornate gold arch, framed by marigold garlands in yellow, red, white and purple. The figure on the left wears a turquoise turban with a crown ornament, a rudraksha mala and a trident-like staff, and the figure on the right wears a turquoise gown with a dark head covering and long gold necklaces. Both are sculpted figures rather than living people, set in a covered outdoor stone porch with a red curtain behind them.
