A shrine with a golden arched frame and a deep red curtain holds a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, with a trident and a rudraksha-adorned figure. Both figures wear garlands of yellow, purple and green flowers. Before them sits a smaller figure dressed in white and pink, with a saffron head cloth and a flower garland, placed on a white pedestal. Brass oil lamps with rooster-shaped tops flank the shrine on both sides, and blue cloth hangs on the open sides of the structure. No physical people are visible in the scene.
