Photograph of a shrine niche framed by a gilded arch with a red velvet backdrop, showing two deity murtis (statues) seated on a golden throne-like platform. The figure on the left wears a maroon turban, a purple and lavender garment, a multi-strand beaded necklace and holds a trident-like staff; the figure on the right wears a tall golden crown, a pink-and-green sari, and garlands. Both are decorated with flower garlands in red, white and multicoloured blooms. A lingam with garlands rests at the base, and flanking garlanded figures and ornamented panels appear at the edges. No physical people are visible apart from a partial figure at the far left edge.
