Two priests in saffron-orange robes perform worship before a shrine holding a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together, adorned with gold jewelry, a crown, and a trident. Garlands of orange, yellow, and purple flowers drape the figures, and a green cloth backdrop hangs below. A dark shivalingam stands on a stone yoni-pitha base in front, with brass oil lamps and flower decorations around the altar. The taller priest at the center pours or offers from a vessel while the other stands with folded hands in a respectful pose.
