Two gilded deity murtis sit within, adorned with yellow and magenta flower garlands; the seated figure wears a red-and-orange headdress. A white dhoti-draped pedestal and small brass lamps, pots and a plate of offerings sit in front. A standing figure in orange robes with a maroon border, back to the camera and bare-shouldered, stands facing the shrine.
