Photograph of a pair of metal deity murtis seated side by side on a decorated pedestal before a red satin backdrop framed by an ornate gold arch. The figure on the left wears a tall orange-and-white turban, jewelled necklaces and a silver-hued trident-like staff in one hand; the figure on the right wears a tall jewelled crown with a halo-like arc, a blue sari and layered gold necklaces. Both are garlanded with green leaves and red and white flower strands. Between them stands a large golden kalasha pot, and orange flowers decorate the base. These are statues, not living people.
