A golden shrine niche in a dark temple hall shows a central deity murti of Shiva with a trident and crescent-moon crown, seated beside a consort figure in red and gold garments, both draped with yellow and purple garlands. A round lingam with yellow garlands stands before them on a golden base. Flanking the central group are two standing statues: on the left a figure in white dhoti and shawl with a white turban and gold chest ornaments, and on the right a figure in an orange-red turban and grey-white garments with gold necklaces, each wearing garlands. Oil lamps stand at the sides, and a silver-toned altar piece sits in the foreground. These are statues in a shrine, not physical people.
