The figure on the left holds a trident-like staff and wears a red crown and white beaded necklaces; the figure on the right wears a gold crown and red sari-style dress. A large brass cobra hood stands above them. Brass oil lamps (deepas) line both sides, and a seated priest in white with a saffron shawl sits at the lower foot of the shrine on a low platform draped in white and gold cloth, facing the murtis. Dark stone carvings frame the niche.
