A photograph of a temple shrine with a large golden-framed arch behind a turquoise curtain. Two large deity murtis stand at the back: the left figure wears a red turban-style crown, a gold and red garland and a rudraksha-like necklace, while the right figure has a tall dark chignon, a white and red sari and garlands. Between them is a Shiva lingam decorated with flower garlands and a tiered brass lamp stand. A small yellow-robed statue sits at the front, and a smaller standing figure in a purple turban and purple shawl stands on the right in an orange-curtained niche. A lone person in orange robes with a rudraksha mala faces the shrine from the bottom right, with brass lamps, plates and offerings on the floor in front. Stone carvings line the pillars.
