A photograph inside a temple shrine showing two gilded deity murti standing in a golden arched niche against red drapery. The taller figure, on the left, wears an orange-red turban topped with a crown, a long beaded necklace, and holds a staff-like ornament in one raised hand. The figure beside it wears a purple and gold sari with a gold necklace and a flower garland. A visible kalasha-like object with a red and green floral garland sits in the foreground. In the lower right, a person with curly dark hair in a white top is seen from behind, looking at the shrine across a metal railing. The murti are statues, not living people.
