A photograph of a decorated temple shrine with an ornate golden arch framed by carved pillars and orange and red draped cloth. At the centre sit two large painted deity figures on a raised platform: a figure in a red-and-orange turban with a trident and rudraksha-style necklaces, and a crowned consort figure in red and gold with a garland. Both wear marigold garlands, and a shivalinga stands in front of them on the platform. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a lavender-clad statue stands in a side niche. No living people are visible.

A photograph of a gilded temple shrine holding a large deity murti, a four-armed figure with a crown and a kalasha pot in one hand, seated beside a consort figure with a crown and ornate garlands. Both are dressed in pink and purple drapes and heavy beaded necklaces. Below them, a small white-clothed figure in a pink garment and red turban sits on a white cloth, with a brass oil lamp and red and white flower garlands. Green curtains line the alcove, and smaller pink-clad statues flank the shrine on each side with brass oil lamps. Gold carved arches frame the scene.

Shiva wears an orange turban and holds a trident, while Parvati wears a crown and gold jewellery; both are draped in red and purple garments and garlanded with red and green flowers.

A smaller red-clad sage figure stands in a gilded niche at right, and brass oil lamps flank the sides under a golden arch with turquoise drapery.
