A stone shrine with carved pillars houses painted statues of a deity seated on a raised platform, holding a trident and other implements, with a tall trident-bearing figure and a companion statue beside them. The figures are draped with marigold and rose garlands, and a pink cloth and green cloth cover the base. Brass oil lamps stand in front, with a brass vessel and offering plates on the ledge. A single standing devotee at right in an orange-red sari with a red garland looks toward the shrine. Glass panels and trees appear behind the open side of the shrine, and a colourful cloth canopy hangs at the top right.
