Golden-tinted photograph of a temple shrine with two large decorated deity statues seated on a white draped dais before a gold-brocade backdrop. The figure on the left wears a red turban, a jewelled necklace and holds a trident; the figure on the right wears a tall jewelled crown, a pink and red sash and holds a staff. In front stands a copper-and-gold snake hood over a richly dressed orange-and-green draped form with rudraksha beads and a gold belt, which appears to be a central murti. A smaller gilded deity figure in a pink sari stands in an arched frame at lower right. At lower left a man in a purple cloth and white forehead marks performs a ritual gesture beside brass vessels, a kalasha and a small oil lamp with flame. No physical people are visible beyond the ritual officiant.
