Two deity murtis stand within a gold-framed arched niche against a turquoise backdrop, one wearing an orange headdress and the other a tall crown, both decorated with white and red garlands. In front of the shrine a standing priest in white dhoti and shawl gestures toward the murtis. To the right, a small figure in red robes stands in a second gold-framed niche holding an object. The scene is dimly lit and the flame is the brightest element.
