Two sets of deity murti sit in gold-arched shrines decorated with garlands of red, yellow and white flowers. On the left, a bride and groom-like pair of murtis sit on a magenta and gold draped dais, the male figure wearing a tall gold crown and orange headwear, the female in a teal-green sari with gold ornaments. On the right, a seated murti with an orange head covering and a staff, dressed in a pink and blue cloth, is garlanded in white flowers beside a smaller female murti. A partly visible priest in white ritual dress stands between the shrines. Blue and red painted pillars frame the back wall and a brass lamp stands in front of the shrines.
