The figures wear crowns, earrings, layered necklaces and garlands of white and red flowers. A silver kalasha-style vessel sits on a linga before them. At right a smaller seated figure in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands beside a lamp stand, and a yellow-draped figure stands in the lower corner. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in orange cloth sits cross-legged, facing the altar beside brass puja vessels, lamps and offerings. The setting is a carved stone temple hall.2013-05-17A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a large gilded arch framing two life-size deity murtis seated side by side on a golden-yellow backdrop. The taller figure wears an orange-red turban and a jeweled necklace, and the figure beside it wears a conical crown and multiple garlands. A central lingam-like form is draped with red and white flower garlands and rudraksha beads, with a brass kalasha above it. At lower left a priest in an orange-red cloth with white tilak marks on his forehead and arms kneels and tends to brass puja vessels and offerings on a white and gold-bordered cloth. No physical person is seated on the murtis; the figures are sculptures and the priest is the only living person visible.2013-05-19A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a large golden arched niche framing a deity murti pair.

Below them a seated priest in saffron-orange robes and a shaved head reads from an open book beside brass oil lamps, a tray of offerings and flower garlands around a central orange-cloth lingam-like form. To the right stands another statue in orange robes and rudraksha beads beside a brass lamp. A green curtain and yellow backdrop fill the background.
