A photograph of a golden deity murti pair, Shiva and Parvati, seated on a decorated altar against a turquoise draped backdrop with a gold-ornamented arch. The male murti wears an orange turban, a trident (trishula) in one hand, a serpent figure on the upper left, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and red garlands. The female murti wears a jewelled crown, layered gold necklaces, red garlands with green leaves and a red sari. Brass lamps with flame-like finials sit in the foreground beside a hand holding the altar's edge.
