A photograph of a temple shrine at night showing a pair of decorated deity murti seated under an arched gold frame backed by a lime-green cloth. The figure on the left wears an orange turban and a crescent-topped crown, carries a trident and holds a drum, with layered white and silver necklaces and a pink and orange skirt. The figure on the right wears a black hair crown, a red and blue blouse and pink skirt, with silver necklaces. Both are garlanded with white jasmine and red and yellow flower strands. In front, a white draped platform holds a small seated white and orange figure in front of a silver cobra-hooded shape. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides and a small flame burns in the foreground.
