A decorated temple shrine holds golden metal murti figures of deities, a male figure with a golden crown and a female figure with a tall crown and layered jewelry, both in purple and gold garments. They are framed by a large arch of garlands in red, yellow, white and green. A gold kalasha-like canopy hangs above, and a standing figure on the right wears a red-brown robe and white garland. The statues are inside a temple with dark stone walls. Statues and garlands only; no living people are visible.
