Inside, a golden murti of a deity couple sits on a golden seat, one figure wearing a red crown and the other a tall gold crown, both draped in green and pink cloth and garlanded with red, yellow and pink flower strands. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a small offering plate with fruit, sweets and a kalasha sits in front on the platform. A red and white striped border frames the enclosure, with green trees behind.

Two figures seated on a raised pedestal are adorned with yellow and orange flower garlands, one holding a trident and the other with a crown, with a golden kalasha between them. A central shivalinga-like form is draped in orange cloth and marigold garlands and sits in front of the main group. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, a smaller shrine and seated figure appear on the right, and carved grey stone pillars frame the scene. The statues are sculptures, not living people.2011-05-17December 31 20112011-12-31September 27 20132013-09-27A temple shrine photographed from the front, set within a granite-pillared mandapa with carved stone columns.
