A photograph of a temple shrine garlanded with flowers. Two gilded figures of Shiva and Parvati, or deity murti, sit on a raised seat under an arched frame of yellow, red and white flower garlands. The figure on the left wears an orange and red striped turban and holds a small hand drum; the figure on the right wears a purple garment and gold jewellery. In the foreground a white statue wearing an orange and saffron robe, orange head cloth, gold necklaces and a red bindi sits with palms pressed together, surrounded by garlands of yellow, green and magenta flowers. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, and no living people are visible.

Behind it stand two gold-coloured deity murtis wearing crowns, jewelled ornaments and saffron and purple garments, one holding a mace-like object, framed by a large arch of marigold and red-and-yellow flower garlands on a stone temple doorway.
