A temple shrine with gilded arches and golden drapery holds two large painted murti figures seated on a pink-draped platform: the left figure wears a red turban and holds a trident, the right wears a crown and a green and red cloth, both adorned with beaded necklaces and garlands of red and purple flowers. A kalasha-topped vessel sits between them, with brass oil lamps and offering plates in front. To the right stands a smaller statue of a saffron-robed sannyasi with long hair and a rudraksha mala, beside a gold-framed niche. In the foreground a devotee with long dark hair and an orange shawl stands with back to the camera facing the shrine.
