A photograph of a shrine inside a stone temple structure with carved pillars and red curtains. At the centre sits a golden-painted statue pair, a male deity with a trident and a female deity in a magenta and orange sari with a crown, both garlanded in yellow, orange and white flowers within a gilded arch. In front stands a small orange-robed sannyasi figure, a statue with a white face and orange cloth and bead garland, placed on a decorated seat surrounded by marigold garlands. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha, bells, offering plates and bowls sit on the stone platform. No living people are visible.
