Marigold and mixed-colour flower garlands drape the shrine's arch and pillars, and a golden kalasha-style vessel with flowers sits in the foreground.

In front stands a Shivalinga draped with flower garlands and a silver-embellished base. Flanking attendant statues in red and gold dhotis with white garlands and rudraksha malas stand on either side, and brass oil lamps frame the shrine.
