Inside the shrine stands a life-size figure of a standing deity murti with a saffron-orange turban, adorned with a multicoloured jewelled necklace and a golden body ornament, the hands raised in blessing. The niche is decorated with red and white flower garlands and green leafy foliage, with a red cloth backdrop. Below, a golden base draped with an orange-gold silk cloth holds two small lit lamps on stands. The background is dark. No physical people are visible. The figure is a statue, so the a person field is depiction only if an appearance-based candidate is present; here it is a murti, so none.2017-02-09A decorated shrine displays a silver-and-gold Shivalinga-style murti with a red-and-white tilak marking, draped in red, orange, yellow and white flower garlands and a gold necklace.
