A stone shrine with carved grey pillars houses a group of painted deity murti: two figures seated on a yellow-draped platform behind a gold arch with green curtain backdrop, with a lingam-like central form draped in red and orange garlands in front. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style brass vessel, bells and a conch-like offering sit on the platform, with a purple cloth and a small standing figure in a blue-curtained niche to the right. Ganesha reliefs decorate the side walls. No people are visible; the scene reads as an outdoor temple shrine with trees behind.
