Nithyanandapedia
A temple shrine with two large gilded deity murti seated side by side on a raised dais, one holding a trident, both draped in purple, red and gold garments and wearing crowns and jewelled necklaces. Thick garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers frame the figures, and a smaller figure with folded hands stands at the right. In front, two people in white and saffron ritual clothing stand with their backs to the camera: the figure at left, with long hair and a white dhoti, holds a flower-laden tray, while the person at right wears a red turban and a red-and-white garland. Brass lamps flank the shrine.
