A golden arched shrine framed by ornate gilded carvings contains two large deity murtis with a red backdrop. The central figure wears an orange-red turban and crown, holds a trident and a damaru-like object, and is adorned with layered gold necklaces. The seated female figure beside him wears a blue skirt, red blouse and rich gold jewellery. Both are draped with garlands of yellow and magenta flowers. In front, a white marble statue of a seated sage in orange robes, rudraksha-style beads and white flower garlands sits on a white cloth with brass offering vessels, lamps and a kalasha-like container arranged before it. No living people are visible.
