A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a pair of large gilded deity murtis seated together on a raised platform, wearing ornate crowns, gold jewellery and red and green garlands. Before them sits a seated figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban with a rudraksha-style gold necklace, hands folded in a gesture of worship, positioned on a low seat in front of an orange cloth draped over the altar. Brass oil lamps with lamp-shaped flames flank the shrine, and brass bowls, a small kalasha-style vessel and offerings sit on the platform in front. A small figure in orange stands to the left and a figure in yellow clothing stands to the right.
