A temple shrine with a large golden arch framing a deity murti of Kalabairava, shown with a trident, a skull-topped staff and a red turban, seated on a pink cloth above a red-draped pedestal. A garland of white and red flowers hangs on the pedestal, with a brass kalasha-like offering and oil lamps on either side. A smaller red-robed figure stands in a teal niche at right, and a small seated figure in red sits at lower left. Carved grey stone pillars and a green backdrop complete the sanctum. No people are physically present; the figures are statues.
