Two large metallic deity murtis sit on a raised white-draped platform: the figure on the left has a crown, red-orange turban, many-armed pose and holds a trident, while the figure on the right wears a crown, gold jewellery and a dark garment. Both are garlanded with red and yellow flower malas. In front sits a small figure in a red-orange saffron garment with a turban and rudraksha mala, seated before a black stone shivalinga with an orange cloth and offerings. A brass oil lamp stands at left and a small brass lamp is set before the platform. No physical people are visible.

Red and yellow marigold garlands drape the statues and a central sacred stone object. Tall brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a smaller seated figure in green and white with garlands sits below. A saffron cloth hangs behind, and brass vessels with offerings sit on a green cloth in front. Stone pillars frame the scene.

Photograph of a gilded shrine with two large painted deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated side by side under an arched golden frame with green draped backdrop. The Shiva figure holds a trident and a small drum-like object, the Parvati figure wears a red sari with gold trim and a tall crown, both adorned with white and red flower garlands and gold jewellery. Below them a small seated figure in orange robes and a white head covering receives a flower garland, with a red-and-gold cloth draped before it. Gold oil lamps stand at the sides and a ceremonial staff rises at right. No living people are visibly present apart from the small seated figure, which appears to be a statue or effigy rather than a person.
