A golden deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, seated within a garlanded arch of yellow, red and white flowers, is being worshipped in a temple sanctum. A man in a rust-orange shawl and matching headwrap, wearing a rudraksha-style garland, stands at left holding a lit oil lamp toward the murti. Two standing golden figures with ornate jewelled necklaces and crowns flank the central pair, each draped in flower garlands. Brass oil lamps decorated with white and red blossoms stand in the foreground beside a silver offering tray, and a small crowd of photographers and attendees is visible along the bottom edge.
