A shrine with a large golden arched frame and red curtain holds two standing metallic deity figures: the left one wears a green crown and holds a trident, the right wears a tall black-and-gold crown, both in jewelled necklaces and pink skirts, with a shivalinga-like form draped in a red-and-white cloth and garlanded with yellow and purple flowers in front. Below sits a white marble seated figure in orange robes with a red turban and rudraksha mala, hand raised in blessing, with folded cloth offerings beside it. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and string lights hang from the ceiling. No living people are visible.
