A photograph of a shrine inside a temple courtyard with grey stone pillars and an ornate gold arch. Two deity murtis stand together in the centre against an orange cloth backdrop: the male form wears an orange turban and crown, holds a trident and a rudraksha mala, and is paired with a female form in a red sari with gold jewellery. Both are draped in garlands of yellow and purple flowers, and a brass kalasha with a sacred lingam-like form stands before them on a gold pedestal. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and small garlanded offerings and a framed picture sit at the sides. No people are visible.July 09 20092009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09August 17 20092009-08-17A shrine photograph showing a large gilded arch framing a central deity murti with a trident and garlands, flanked by orange and gold drapes, with a second statue of a seated figure in red and a standing figure at right in a gold niche wrapped in red.

Yellow, orange and red marigold garlands drape the figures and a golden kalasha-like vessel stands in front of them. Brass lamps with bird finials, brass oil lamps, fruit offerings and a small red-clad seated figure sit on the altar platform, while a smaller murti stands at the right edge.
