Close photograph of a gilded deity murti pair seated in front of a deep red velvet curtain. The figure on the left wears an orange turban, red and gold embellished garments, a heavy jeweled necklace, a trident held upright, and a tilak on the forehead. The figure on the right wears a tall jeweled crown, a brocade sari, layered necklaces and earrings, and holds a hand raised in a blessing gesture. Both are adorned with garlands of yellow and magenta flowers, and a golden arch frames them on the right. No living people are visible; these are statues, so the scene contains no physical people.
