A temple shrine photographed from the front. Two large gilded deity murtis stand behind a white-draped altar with a golden throne; one wears a crown and holds a trident-like staff, the other wears a blue and red sari and jewelry. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers hang down the shrine. In front of the altar sits a white marble statue of a seated sage wearing an orange-red robe, orange turban and rudraksha-style beaded mala, with one hand raised. Brass and copper vessels, a bell, a kalasha-like pot, a small brass lamp, flower petals and a white cloth sit on the platform, and a red-draped small shrine stands at right. No living people are visible.
