Photograph of a temple shrine with a gilded arched frame and magenta backdrop. Two golden metal deity murtis sit on a raised platform: the male figure wears a red turban and ornate silver jewellery, holding a trident and a drum-like staff, while the female figure wears an orange sari and jewelled crown. Between them stands a dark stone lingam wrapped in an orange cloth, draped with rudraksha malas, yellow and purple flower garlands and a golden kalasha. A small white marble statue of a seated sage with folded hands, red robe and red turban sits in front of the lingam.
