A person with long dark curly hair, wearing a sleeveless orange robe, stands with hands folded in prayer facing a shrine. Behind them, a golden arched frame surrounds two large deity murtis of a male and female figure with crowns and jewelled necklaces, one in a blue sari-like garment. In front is a golden shivalinga-style form draped with red and yellow marigold garlands, with a small seated white and orange figure at its base beside brass lamps, a kalasha and offering bowls. On the right stands a tall brass oil lamp, and an orange chair with a red cushion is in the foreground. A small figure in an orange turban sits at the shrine base, appearing to be a statue or depiction rather than a living person.
