Photo of a shrine behind a blue metal grille gate, showing two painted deity murtis: a blue-skinned figure in a yellow dhoti playing a flute, and a fair figure in a blue-patterned sari wearing garlands, with orange-and-red cloth hangings beside them. Pillars are painted white with reddish dot markings, and a tree and building stand outside the gate. No people are visible; the statues are the only figures.
