Photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti pair, a male and female form seated together under a gilded arch and red drape. Both figures wear ornate necklaces and crowns, and red and yellow marigold garlands drape their bodies and the seat. A small peetha or throne sits at the base with a kalasha, lamps and brass offerings on a stone platform. Metal railings in the foreground frame the view, with a blue-draped side shrine and a smaller standing figure garlanded at right. No living people are visible.
