Photograph of two golden utsava murti deities seated side by side on a decorated palanquin or vahana, heavily adorned with white jasmine garlands and red and yellow flower strings. The figures wear silver and gold ornaments, crowns with flower decoration, and a blue cloth draped over the seat. A burning oil lamp on a metal stand with a flame is held at left by a person whose hand is visible. Garlands hang from the ceiling and a golden pillar stands at right. Some flower offerings lie at the base. A small time-stamp reads 31 17:09 on the left edge. No a person candidate is visible; the figures are statues, so no physical people are present except a partially visible person at left.
