A temple shrine with a gold-framed arch behind a pair of large painted deity murtis: a figure with a trident and a crescent-crowned headdress seated beside a consort in a magenta sari and gold jewellery, both with blue and yellow lower garments. Between them stands a lingam draped in a golden cobra hood and framed with yellow and red marigold garlands. In front, an empty red velvet chair with gold trim holds a framed photograph of a seated man in saffron robes with a white garland, raising one hand in blessing before a tree trunk. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a small deity image in a garland-decorated niche sits at the right. Strings of marigolds decorate the stone platform. No people are visible.
