Photograph taken through a metal railing down a red-carpeted aisle toward a shrine. Two painted deity statues stand on a grey stone plinth under a gold-embroidered arch with orange drapery: the figure on the left wears an orange crown, gold jewellery and a rudraksha-style necklace and holds a trident-like staff, while the figure on the right wears a gold crown and blue-and-pink skirted garment. Garlands of white and pink flowers hang on the plinth, with brass oil lamps, a kalasha-like vessel and offerings in front. A smaller standing figure in orange robes stands at the right edge, and red pillars and a red curtain frame the scene. No physical people are visible in the shrine. Deity murti, shrine.
