A photograph of a temple sanctum with two large painted deity murti standing side by side behind a gilded arch, one wearing a red turban and holding a staff, the other in a tall crown with a trident-like staff, both adorned with gold necklaces and flower garlands. Before them sits a white-clad figure with a flower garland and a large silver-framed image, with brass oil lamps (deepam) on tall stands flanking the shrine. On the right, a small attendant figure in white dhoti and garland stands beside a green curtain, and a bare-backed devotee in yellow and white cloth bows at the lower right corner. The shrine is framed by carved grey stone pillars, a green and gold drape, and a pink and white draped platform.
