Two attendant figures flank the shrine: one on the left in red and gold dress with a red turban, and one on the right holding his hands together in a namaskar-like gesture. A brass oil lamp stands at the left, with a blue and lavender cloth below and small offering dishes and flower decorations in front of the murti.

Red drapes flank the niche. Tall brass oil lamps stand on both sides and a silver-and-gold kalasha sits before the deity, decorated with marigold and purple garlands. In the foreground a seated figure in orange robes, appearing to be a sannyasi in saffron clothing and seen from behind, sits before the altar. Appearance-based label: a person cannot be confirmed from the seated figure, so the figure is described as a sannyasi in orange robes.2010-11-21October 11 20102010-10-11A temple shrine holds a large seated deity murti pair in dark stone-coloured finish with gilded crowns, garlands and ornaments.
