A decorated shrine with a large gilded arch frames two standing deity murtis with crowns and heavy jewelled necklaces, one in red and gold, one in magenta with a pointed crown. A tall golden kalasha-like form in front is draped with garlands of marigolds and red and purple flowers, with a small white and red seated figure below it. In the foreground a man in a rust-orange robe holds a tray and offers something at the shrine. Behind him a second person in saffron-orange robe with a garland stands near the deity, and brass lamps and vessels sit on the floor.
