A temple shrine with a large stone-pillared open pavilion and a gold-framed arch behind a red curtain. Two deity murtis stand tall, one with a green face, crown and multiple arms, the other with a crown and pink garment, both draped in pink and orange cloth, multi-strand jewelled necklaces and garlands of yellow and purple flowers. In front, a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban, with a white beard, sits on a white-draped platform beside a book and a small offering, wearing garlands of marigold. Brass oil lamps (deepas) line both sides of the shrine, and a small shrine with a red-clad figure sits to the right. The scene is a quiet temple setting with greenery visible through the side openings.

A photograph of a shrine inside a stone-pillared open pavilion showing a golden-clad deity murti pair seated on a gilded arched throne backdrop with a red curtain.
