A photograph of a decorated deity shrine at a temple, with a gold arched frame behind an ornate murti of a seated deity pair. The main figure wears a gold crown, a large beaded necklace, and holds a trident; the consort beside him wears red and gold garments and jewelry. Below them sits a small figure in red garments with a red cap and a white shawl. Thick garlands of yellow, red, white and purple flowers hang around the murtis, with a golden kalasha-like pot and a lamp in front. Potted flower arrangements of white and purple blooms frame the shrine, and a small fire flame glows at the bottom edge. No living people are visible.
