A shrine within a stone-pillared pavilion holds a large deity murti of a seated Shiva-like figure with an orange turban, garlanded in red and white flowers, beside a consort figure in a dark headdress. Both are dressed in yellow and red skirts with jewelled necklaces. Below them stands a smaller ornate seat draped with rudraksha malas, and a plain white-cloth covered pedestal bears a golden figure. Two brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a small standing statue of a saffron-robed sage with an orange turban is set in a niche to the right. Trays of offerings sit on the floor at the front, with red and yellow flowers visible. Blue and green fabric hangs behind the altar, and red-and-orange curtains frame the sides.
