A decorated temple shrine photographed from the front, with no people visible. Two large deity murtis, one male and one female, sit on a raised golden-framed altar, adorned with yellow and orange garlands and white flower necklaces. Brass oil lamps and kalasha-style vessels surround the altar, and a red-and-white ornamented seat is placed in front. Red anthurium flowers and white blossoms hang across the top of the canopy, with orange and pink flower arrangements on the pillars, silver tinsel strands, and pink curtains framing the sides. Small toys and colourful beaded figures are arranged at the base, with a row of letters strung along the front ledge and a small ganesha-like figure in the foreground.
