A photograph of a golden deity murti seated on a dais before a red draped backdrop within an ornate gilded arch. Two figures are shown: the central figure wears an orange-red turban and holds a raised hand and a ceremonial object, while the figure to the right wears a gold crown, layered gold necklaces and a gold waistband. Both are adorned with white and red-purple flower garlands draped across their bodies, and a green-leafed garland rests on the central figure's shoulders. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.
