A devotee in orange saffron robes stands bent forward with hands folded, facing a shrine. Behind him, a gilded arch frames a pair of painted and gilded deity murtis seated on a red-and-blue draped dais, one wearing a crown and holding a trident, the other in red sari with floral garlands of yellow and purple. Yellow marigold garlands hang from the dais, and a small seated figure in orange with a white beard and rudraksha-style garland sits in front of them. Brass lamps and a kalasha-like vessel stand on the ledge, with incense smoke rising at left. A red curtain and carved grey stone pillars complete the temple setting.
