A photograph of a shrine with a gilded arched frame and teal backdrop holding a seated deity murti pair: a figure with a green and gold turban, red garment, layered jewelled necklaces and a trident in one hand, beside a female figure in a green sari with a white flower garland and a jewelled crown. Both are covered in ornaments. Garlands of red, white and yellow flowers hang down the front. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and smaller figures and flower offerings sit on the lower platform. The scene looks like a temple darshan setting.
