A shrine niche with a central pair of deity murti seated on a golden throne under a gold arch, one figure raising a hand and both adorned with silver necklaces, rudraksha-like beads and flower garlands. Flanking the centre are two standing figures in orange and pink garments with garlands, one holding a small object. Brass oil lamps stand in front of the figures, and a kalasha-like vessel with flower garlands rests before the throne. Yellow and orange draped cloth hangs overhead, with a string of marigold-coloured flowers across the top. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.
