A shrine inside a stone-pillared temple hall shows a seated deity murti pair beneath a gilded arch against red drapes. The central pair wear orange and red garments with gold ornaments, and the figure on the left holds a trident. Red and yellow marigold garlands drape the murtis and a seated sculpted figure in white and green stands in front. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides beside small offering pots and a standing green-robed figure in an alcove with a blue backdrop.
