Two large gilded statues of Hindu deities stand on a stage in a photograph. The taller figure on the left wears an orange turban-style crown, a dhoti with gold and purple borders, and layered jewelled necklaces with a sacred thread; it holds a trident-like staff in one raised hand and a flame-like object in the other. Beside it, a smaller female-form statue wears a jewelled golden crown, a gold sari, and heavy ornate necklaces with red and green stones. A black backdrop and a red banner with partial Tamil lettering and the digits '12' stand behind them, with a yellow glow on the left. No living people are visible.
