A photograph of a temple shrine showing a deity murti group: Shiva seated with a trident and damaru-like hand objects, beside a consort figure, both adorned with gold necklaces and yellow and red marigold garlands against a red cloth backdrop within an ornate gold arch. In front stands a large black shiva lingam draped in garlands and gold ornaments on a green-and-gold base. Flanking the central group are two standing devotee-type statues in red and orange robes with garlands and necklaces, and brass oil lamps stand at the sides. The image is a photograph of statues, with no physical people present.

The central male figure holds a trident and a drum-like object, wears a tall gold crown and rudraksha-style necklaces, and sits beside a female figure in a blue blouse with a gold crown and garlands. Two standing statues flank the shrine in gold-trimmed arches, each adorned with garlands of yellow and red flowers and jewelled necklaces; one wears a pink and purple turban, the other a dark turban and brown dhoti. A silver shivalinga-style object with a garland sits at the front, with brass oil lamps on either side and small offering trays before the shrine. No physical people are visible.
