Two metallic deity murtis of a male and female figure stand behind, the male with a red turban and blue dhoti-like garment, the female in red with a red veil. In front, a dark stone linga-form murti sits on a golden base with a silver lingam-style band, draped in red and orange cloth, garlanded with yellow marigolds and red roses, and wearing rudraksha beads and a jewelled necklace. A small white marble statue in pink robes and pink turban sits at the right foot, and brass oil lamps flank the shrine.
