A temple shrine photographed from the front showing two gilded deity murtis standing side by side within a carved golden arch, backed by a deep red velvet curtain. The figure on the left wears a tall orange turban and a bead garland and holds a trident-like staff; the figure on the right wears a tall golden crown and blue skirt. Both are draped in yellow and blue cloth and fresh marigold garlands. In front stands a silver-and-gold altar with a conical stone lingam covered in flower garlands, brass oil lamps on tall stands, a small brass kalasha, and a bell-like offering. Orange curtains frame the side pillars. No people are visible.
