A photograph of a shrine interior viewed down a narrow aisle lined with metal railings and a red carpet. At the far end sits a pair of large painted deity murti under a gold arch with green drapery. Both figures wear pink and red garments, ornate necklaces and crowns, one holding a sword and the other a staff. In front of them stands a central altar with garlands, a red decorated image, and a brass or gold vessel on the stone base. Pillars with carved stonework frame the scene, and pink curtains hang at the sides. No people are visible in the shrine.
