A stone temple shrine with carved pillars and a gilded arch frames a large statue pair of a deity couple adorned with garlands of yellow and red flowers, beaded jewellery and a crown; the male figure wears an orange-red turban and holds a hand raised in blessing, while the female figure wears a blue and green sari. Beside them a smaller deity murti in an orange cloth niche is garlanded. In front, a small altar holds a kalasha, brass lamps, a silver puja plate and a deity figure in a red and gold seat. Green drapery hangs behind. No living people are visible.2013-09-26September 27 20132013-09-27A temple shrine with a golden arched frame and a green cloth backdrop holds a central deity murti of a seated couple: the male figure wears a red and orange turban, a trident and a rudraksha-style mala, and the female figure wears a purple garment with white floral garlands. A green-clad lower seat holds a further figure adorned with a garland and jewelled necklace. Flanking statues wear red turbans and beaded necklaces, one with a tiger-striped garment.
