Photo of a temple shrine with a red-and-gold backdrop. Two seated deity murtis dominate the centre, one holding a trident-like staff, both draped in green, teal and orange cloth and garlanded with marigolds and white flowers, seated before a dark shivalinga on a black pedestal. Flanking standing murtis wear green and red garments with yellow-and-white garlands, and brass oil lamps stand on both sides. In the lower right foreground a person with long dark hair, a dark head covering, a red-brown garment and gold armlets faces the shrine with hands held together in devotion. Small offering plates and flowers sit in front of the murtis.
