A photograph of two golden deity murtis, shown as a male and female pair, seated side by side in a shrine decorated with garlands of white, yellow, orange and magenta flowers. The figures wear crowns with coloured jewels, silver and gold necklaces, and the female figure wears an orange-red garment with blue. A bright ceiling light shines above them. At the lower left, the back of a person's head and a white-clad shoulder are partially visible, and a second partly visible figure in white is at the bottom edge, so two or three people appear in the frame. A Kodikkan Ratha Yatra procession of these deities is the page subject, but the image itself shows the shrine display.
