A temple sanctum shows a large deity murti pair under a gilded arch against red drapery. The central figure wears a green and gold crown, a bead-and-gold necklace and holds a trident-like weapon, with a smaller figure beside him. A female-form deity with a dark crown and green-and-gold garment stands at right, both adorned with garlands of yellow and purple flowers. In front sits a shivalinga-style form on a silver-and-gold peetha with a rudraksha-style necklace and garlands, draped in a white and gold cloth. Brass lamps stand on both sides, with brass vessels and a kalasha on the floor. No people are visible; the murtis and carved stone pillars frame the scene.
