A standing man in a temple stands in front of a shrine with a deity murti pair, decorated with multicolored flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white. He wears a green silk dhoti and an orange-bordered shawl, with a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace, and beaded armbands, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him stand brass oil lamps and carved stone pillars. The idols wear pink and purple silk drapes, and a small yellow-robed figure is seen to the right. A bare-chested man with several malas adorns the shrine, while the background shows a yellow-draped altar, a kalasha, and brass vessels with offerings at the base.
