A shrine niche with a golden arch framed by garlands of yellow, white, purple and green flowers. Two standing deity murti are central: a male figure in an orange-red turban and a garland of white beads, holding a ritual object, beside a female figure in a pink sari with a dark crown. A larger seated murti in a red and gold cloth, wrapped in flower garlands, sits on a white-draped platform in front. Brass oil lamps and a silver vessel flank the altar, with a tray of red offerings at left.
