A golden shrine arch frames a large gilded deity murti of a male figure in a yellow dhoti and red turban, holding a trident and drum-like object, seated beside a female figure in a magenta and green sari. Both wear heavy gold jewellery and garlands of yellow and red flowers. In front, a white-clad figure in orange sits in a ritual posture amid brass lamps, kalasha vessels and offering plates. On the left, a standing man in orange robes presses his palms together in greeting, and at the lower right another orange-clad man is partly visible. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine.
