A photograph of a temple shrine showing a black stone murti of a seated deity couple, one figure wearing a tall silver crown and holding a trident, the other wearing a gold crown and red-pink silk sari-like dress, both draped in heavy silver and gold necklaces and red marigold garlands. Behind them stands a framed portrait on the wall above, and two decorated pillars with colourful painted panels frame the shrine. In front, a large elaborate fruit arrangement forms a shiva-linga-shaped display in layered rings of bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, carrots and peppers, surrounded by fresh vegetables, pineapple, coconut and brass lamps. The scene suggests a deity murti decorated with a fruit offering.
