A photograph of a temple shrine containing deity murti statues in a gilded arched niche with red curtains. The central pair are a four-armed male figure with a trident and a female figure in a red and blue sari, both adorned with red and white garlands, ornate necklaces and crowns. Two standing attendant statues flank them: one on the left in a purple robe with a green turban and garlands, and one on the right in a dark patterned top and maroon dhoti with a rudraksha-style necklace. Brass oil lamps stand on the altar in front, with a large garland draped below and a silver-and-gold decorated base.
