A photograph of a gilded temple shrine with a golden arch framing a green brocade backdrop. Two standing metal deity murti stand side by side on a pink silk-draped pedestal: the taller figure wears an orange turban and orange garments, holds a mace-like staff and raises one hand in a blessing gesture, while the figure to the right wears a blue sari with a tall crown and holds a lotus. Both are adorned with layered jewelled necklaces and red-and-yellow marigold garlands. In front, a dark stone linga is draped in an orange cloth with pearl necklaces and a crown-like headpiece, with an orange-and-gold cloth beneath and a small white figure in yellow. Brass puja vessels, a bell and a lamp sit on the altar ledge. No people are visible.
