A golden arched shrine frames a pair of large deity murti: a male figure in a red turban and green garment with a trident and a female figure in a green sari with heavy silver jewellery, both adorned with garlands of red, yellow and orange flowers. In front, a white-draped statue seated on a cushioned seat wears an orange shawl, a rudraksha-style mala and a golden crown-like headpiece, with garlands draped over it. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style brass vessel and flower offerings sit at the base. No living people are visible.
