At the centre stands a multi-armed deity murti with a trident and a serpent hood overhead, flanked by a consort figure in green and gold. Below, a smaller seated deity murti sits on a gold lion-supported throne, draped with red and white flower garlands. Two standing devotee-like statues in orange and red robes with rudraksha malas and garlands flank the shrine, and brass oil lamps stand on either side. The scene is a statue shrine with no living people visible.
