Temple shrine with a large pair of deity murtis seated on a raised pedestal under a golden arch, the central figure wearing a red and gold crown and holding a trident-like staff, the consort in a green and gold sari with a jewelled crown. Both are garlanded with red and yellow marigold garlands and heavy necklaces. In front, a tall kalasha-like ornament and brass oil lamps sit on the platform. A smaller murti in a green-curtained niche to the right is also garlanded. Several people in white and orange clothing stand at the lower edge, some with their backs to the camera, facing the shrine in darshan. No a person candidate is visible in the frame.
