A shrine niche framed by an ornate gilded arch holds a deity murti of a seated couple on a green-and-yellow draped base, with magenta cloth backdrop. The male figure wears an orange turban, rudraksha-style necklaces and holds a trident and drum-like object; the female figure wears a green-and-white sari, gold jewellery and a crown. Both are garlanded with red and white flower strings. In front is a kalasha-like shivalinga-style offering with a red garland and an ornate pedestal. Flanking the arch are two standing attendant statues in orange and maroon clothing with beaded vests. The scene reads as a temple deity display during padapuja.
