Photograph of a richly decorated shrine showing two large painted murti figures of a deity couple, one male with a red and yellow turban, gold crown, multiple pearl necklaces and a raised hand holding a staff, and a female figure in a red and orange sari with green border and garlands. Both wear garlands of yellow and red flowers and pink lotus blossoms. In front stands a white shivalinga-shaped lingam wrapped in garlands, with a kalasha, brass lamps and a lotus offering on a white cloth. Purple cloth with gold sprigs backs the shrine between carved stone pillars. The setting appears to be a temple sanctum. No people are visible in the frame.
