A photograph of two ornately decorated deity murti statues on an altar beneath a gilded arch with a dark blue velvet backdrop. The figure on the left wears an orange turban with a crescent moon ornament, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, layered jewelled garlands and a tall crown-like headpiece, holding a trident. The figure on the right wears a black crown with a red-and-gold decorative headpiece, large jewelled earrings, a teal and white beaded necklace and a blue sari, with a hand raised in blessing. Yellow and red marigold garlands drape both sides, and a silver-and-gold ritual vessel sits in the foreground. These are statues, not living people.
