A shrine interior with open stone pillars and a golden arched frame housing a deity murti of a goddess and a male deity, both draped in pink, magenta and blue cloth with yellow lower garments, adorned with marigold and purple flower garlands. In front stands a small figure in orange and white clothing with a saffron turban-like cloth, seated on a white cloth-covered platform, surrounded by brass lamps, a bell-shaped vessel, a bowl of white offerings and a book on a stand. Red and orange curtains hang at the sides, and a small red-clad figure sits on a side seat. The scene reads as a temple sanctum set for worship.
