Photograph of a gilded temple shrine with a golden arched frame and red drapery. Two gold-coloured deity murtis sit on a raised throne: the figure on the left wears a red turban, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments; the figure on the right wears a crown-like headdress and necklaces. Between them stands a silver-toned lingam-style form draped in yellow and purple marigold garlands. In front, a white statue of a seated sannyasi in orange robes and an orange turban sits on the base. Tall brass oil lamps flank the shrine. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.
