A photograph of a decorated deity display under a striped canopy with a red, yellow and white fringed top. Two murti figures sit side by side on a raised platform draped in gold cloth, garlanded with thick bands of marigolds, yellow and pink flowers. The figure on the left wears a green and gold sari; the figure on the right wears a pink and blue skirt with gold trim and a heavy necklace. Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel, bowls of offerings and flower arrangements sit before them. A small sign reads Anantha Shayanam. Colourful woven panels with bird and diamond motifs hang at the sides, a black backdrop behind, and a few devotees' heads appear at the bottom edge.
