A photograph of a stone shrine with carved pillars and a gold-framed arch housing a pair of deity murtis in blue and gold garments, adorned with garlands of yellow and red flowers and green coconuts. In front, a golden kalasha stands on a pedestal above a small seated figure. Lower down, a figure in an orange-red robe raises a white whisk-like fan toward the shrine, while red cloth hangs at the right and potted greenery surrounds the scene. Oil lamps stand on the platform. No identifiable a person is visible; only a single partially visible person in ochre robes appears at the right edge.
