A photograph of a golden-toned statue pair seated on a raised platform in front of a deep red curtain within an ornate gold arch. The male deity figure wears an orange-and-red turban and crown, holds a trident and a rudraksha-style mala with a ceremonial necklace, and wears a pink-and-red dhoti. The female figure beside him wears an orange sari with green border, a tall gold crown, and layered white and red beaded necklaces. Green foliage and palms surround the setting. No physical people are visible, so the figures are statues depicting deities.
