A decorated festival shrine framed by a multicoloured floral arch of red, yellow, green, purple and white garlands with silver tinsel. Above the golden arched kirtimukha-style frame stands a bronze-coloured deity murti pair seated together, one wearing a tall crown and white beaded necklaces with a red-and-gold skirt, the other in orange and red garments with gold ornaments. A framed portrait behind them shows a man with long dark hair in an orange robe with a beaded necklace, standing before a large banyan-like tree trunk. Palm fronds appear at the top, and a sound mixer and cables sit at the base of the shrine on a red-cloth platform.
