A temple shrine decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and green, framing two large deity murtis with gold crowns and jewelled necklaces. A figure in a green dhoti and gold-trimmed garment stands at the centre, holding a lamp-like object over the deities. Beside him a priest in a white dhoti and shaved head performs a ritual, holding a flame, while an attendant in orange cloth stands nearby. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone floor and a small pot sits at the base of the shrine, amid carved stone pillars and a golden arch.
