A gilded arched shrine holds a golden seated deity murti pair, with a male figure wearing a red-banded crown and a female figure in a golden crown and jewelled necklaces, both seated above a blue cloth. In front stands a golden lingam-shaped form draped in garlands of yellow, red and white flowers, set on a golden pedestal. A white marble statue of a seated figure in white robes and a white head cloth sits before the pedestal with a small flower offering. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a pink-robed figure stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a temple abhishekam or pada puja display, with no living people visible.
