A photograph of a gilded temple sanctum shrine framed by an ornate golden arch. Two gold-coloured deity murtis sit side by side on a shivalinga-style pedestal, the figure on the left holding a trident and the figure on the right wearing a tall gold crown, both adorned with jewelled necklaces and earrings. Garlands of yellow, red and white flowers drape the murtis and the lingam. In front, a white marble seated figure in red robes with a red head covering and a garland is shown in blessing. A brass oil lamp burns at the lower left and brass lamps stand at the sides. No people are visible; the statues are the only figures in the frame.

The central figure, a male deity with a green and orange turban and red garment, holds a trident and a damaru-like drum with a gold-trimmed hand, wearing layered white and gold necklaces. Seated beside him is a female figure in a green and gold sari with a white flower garland and a jewelled headpiece. In front, a seated priest-like figure in white and red clothes is largely covered by thick yellow and white garlands. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and smaller offerings and a kalasha rest on the floor. The scene is a puja setting with garlands and lamps.
