A temple shrine in an ornate golden arch framed by a teal curtain. Two large painted deity murti stand side by side, the left with four arms holding a trident and a drum-like object, both wearing crowns and garlands of red and white flowers and gold necklaces, draped in orange and magenta cloth. Below them a seated figure, partly covered by a heavy garland of yellow and red flowers, sits on an orange cloth. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a small statue of a yellow-robed figure stands in a niche on the right. No living people are visible.
