A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti seated in the centre, shown with four arms holding a trident and other attributes, wearing a red-orange turban and a garland of beads, with a female figure beside him in a purple sari and a tall crown, both draped in marigold and rose garlands. Below them is a Shivalinga-style form adorned with a gold-coloured necklace and garlands of red and yellow flowers, set on a peetha. Two smaller standing figures flank the shrine, one on the left in a red turban and orange garment with a flower garland, and one on the right in a dark head covering and orange garment with a garland. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides, and a gold arch frames a magenta backdrop.

A shrine niche framed by an ornate gilded arch holds a deity murti of a seated couple on a green-and-yellow draped base, with magenta cloth backdrop. The male figure wears an orange turban, rudraksha-style necklaces and holds a trident and drum-like object; the female figure wears a green-and-white sari, gold jewellery and a crown. Both are garlanded with red and white flower strings. In front is a kalasha-like shivalinga-style offering with a red garland and an ornate pedestal. Flanking the arch are two standing attendant statues in orange and maroon clothing with beaded vests. The scene reads as a temple deity display during padapuja.
