A golden ornamented shrine arch frames a pair of gilded deity murtis seated side by side on a raised peetha with a blue and yellow drape, one wearing an orange and gold crown and holding a trident, the other wearing a jewelled crown and jewelled necklaces. A large Shiva lingam in front is decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands. Brass lamps flank the shrine, and in the lower foreground a white-clad figure sits at the base, with a brass kalasha, bell and small bronze shrine nearby. The scene is a temple darshan setting with no visible physical crowd.
