A photograph of a gilded shrine with two large metallic deity statues seated side by side in front of a red draped backdrop within an ornate gold arch. The figure on the left, wearing a red and gold crown, orange sash, jewelled necklaces and holding a trident-like weapon, sits above a blue and gold dhoti; the figure on the right wears a crown, blue sari with gold border, and purple and white garlands. Both wear garlands of white and purple flowers. In front, a golden peetha and a Shiva lingam draped in an orange cloth and adorned with white jasmine garlands are placed, with a brass oil lamp and kalasha visible at the bottom. These are deity murtis, not living people, and no person is visible.
