A temple shrine with a large sculpted deity murti seated under a gold-framed arch with red drapery behind. Two figures are seated on a dais: the central one wears an orange turban and a blue-green garment with rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, while a seated figure beside has a black crown-like headdress. Garlands of white and red flowers hang over the figures. A yellow-robed standing statue stands at the right within a blue niche, and a small seated yellow statue sits at the base with a red flower offering. Brass kalasha pots are arranged at the left on a stone floor, and a wooden stand holds a small book. These are statues, not living people.
