Two deity murtis stand on a raised stone platform: on the left, a dancing Shiva figure (Nataraja form) with raised arms, pink-and-white hair decorations and a red-and-white striped lower garment, set within an ornate arched halo framed in orange; on the right, a standing female deity murti dressed in an orange-and-red sari with pink floral adornments, within a gold arched prabhavali. A small wooden stool sits in front of the platform, a hanging oil lamp hangs at the top right, and a white cloth lies on the base. No people are visible.
