Photograph of a pair of gilded murti statues on a red draped altar at a temple-style shrine, adorned with yellow and red marigold garlands and silver jewellery. The left figure holds a trident and wears a red headcloth and layered silver necklaces; the right figure, in a pink silk sari with silver ornaments, raises a hand in blessing. Blue Tamil and English signs above label them Sri Anandeshwarar and Sri Anandeswari. A deity murti, not a living person, so no physical people are counted; the only visible human is a partially seen head at the bottom edge.
