Photograph of a doorway at a building entrance with two gilded metal deity murtis seated on a low wooden platform on a concrete floor. The left figure is a multi-armed seated deity holding a trident-like staff and raising a hand in blessing; the right figure is a seated goddess with a red garland and a red cloth draped over her lap. A pale grey cylindrical bolster sits at the left edge. Beside the threshold stands a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, and another person in white is partly visible at the right near an ornate gold carved frame. Several pairs of sandals rest on the steps, and a geometric white chalk or kolam design marks the floor. A faint timestamp reads 21 10:27 with a copyright notice.
