A temple shrine niche framed by gilded arches and grey carved stone pillars. Two seated deity murti dominate: a male figure with a red turban, a trident and a damaru-like drum in raised hands, and a female figure with a crown and jewelled necklaces, both draped in red and green silk with pink and yellow garlands. A small linga-like form sits at their base with a rudraksha-style garland, and a kalasha and brass oil lamps stand before them.
