Inside a richly carved stone shrine, a large deity murti pair is seated on a blue-draped pedestal with a golden arch behind them and red drapes. The central figure is a multi-armed Hindu deity in red, with a trident in one hand, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces; beside them is a female deity in yellow and red with floral garlands and gold jewellery. Red and yellow marigold garlands hang down the pedestal, with brass oil lamps, bowls and a kalasha-like vessel arranged in front. To the right stands a smaller painted figure in orange and red clothing with a rudraksha mala in a green-curtained niche. The scene is a temple altar with an offering setup, no people visible.

The two murti figures wear gold and orange garments, jewelled necklaces and crowns; the male figure holds a trident and a kalasha-like vessel, and the female figure holds a flower. Red and yellow marigold garlands drape the figures and the seat. Brass oil lamps with bird-shaped finials line the foreground, and a small orange-robed figure sits or kneels at the base of the throne with small brass puja vessels nearby.
