Photograph of a gilded metal murti of a seated deity couple against a red velvet backdrop beneath an ornate gold arch. The male figure wears a multicoloured braided turban, a trident in one hand, a layered jewelled necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and sits on a golden satin cloth with a striped lower garment. The female figure beside him wears a brown shawl, a white flower garland in her hair, and multiple gold and jewelled necklaces. Yellow and purple flower garlands drape the base, and an ornate golden seat or peetha holds a kalasha-like offering with an orange cloth. These are statues, not living people. The image is not a depiction of a person.
