A shrine within a stone temple structure with ornate carved pillars and a golden arched frame. Central on a gilded platform stands a pair of deity murti: a figure with a red turban and gold ornaments beside a consort figure with a crown, seated together on a golden throne. Purple cloth covers the base, with yellow, purple and white flower garlands draped on both sides. Brass lamps with oil lamps stand on either side, and a small orange-robed figure. Red curtains frame the back, and a small figure in red stands at the right edge.

Two deity figures are seated on a raised platform: one male figure wears an orange turban-like crown and holds a trident, and beside him a female figure wears an orange sari and gold jewellery, with a purple draped cloth below. In front, a smaller orange-robed figure is seated with hands joined, garlanded with marigold and multicolour flower strands. Brass oil lamps and a small brass vessel stand on the floor, with orange and red curtains framing the sides.

In front, a smaller seated murti wears an orange cloth and a gold crown, with a white cloth draped over the altar platform.
