Outdoor temple shrine where priests in white dhotis and yellow shawls perform abhishekam on a pair of gilded deity murtis seated on a golden throne. The seated figure on the left has a tall conical crown and raised hand, while the figure on the right wears a crown and an orange-saffron draped cloth. One priest pours water from a golden vessel over the left figure, another pours from a golden pot at the right, and a third stands in front with his back turned. A devotee on the far right stands with palms pressed together. Golden arched frames, carved stone pillars and a red-and-gold metal railing surround the shrine, with greenery visible behind.
