A golden-framed shrine holds two gilded deity murtis, a seated Shiva-like figure with a trident and a consort in a pink sari with a crown of jewelled ornaments, both draped in long yellow-and-purple garlands. In front stands a white marble statue of a seated sage in orange saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a raised hand, wearing an orange turban. A white cloth covers the platform below, with small brass vessels and flowers at the base and a partially visible hand at the lower left. No living people are clearly the main subject; the statues are central and the figure in saffron is a statue, not a physical person.
