A stone shrine with a golden arched frame houses deity murti and a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe, adorned with rudraksha-style beads, garlands of red and yellow flowers and gold ornaments. Two large black stone dvarapala guardian statues stand on either side, each wearing white dhoti and garlands. A red curtain hangs at right and a brass bell hangs at left. The platform holds offerings and a small kalasha-style vessel, typical of a paduka puja setting in an open temple courtyard.
