Photograph of a gilded deity murti pair seated on a red throne-like seat before a red velvet backdrop and an ornate gold arch. The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, red and gold garments, layered jewelled necklaces and holds a trident; the figure on the right wears a gold crown, red sari-style dress and heavy necklaces, with one hand raised in blessing. Yellow and purple flower garlands drape both figures, and a tall brass oil lamp stands at left. In the lower right foreground a seated person in white and gold clothing with a striped headcloth is partly visible, with garlands around them. Their presence is a physical person, but the image is dominated by the murti pair.
