A decorated stone shrine with a gilded arch frames a deity murti pair seated on a throne: the male figure wears an orange turban and white garments, the female figure a pink and magenta sari, both adorned with flower garlands in yellow, red and white. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a brass kalasha sits before the figures amid flower petals and offerings. Red anthurium and white flowers hang from the roof, with silver tinsel along the pillars. A small orange-clad figure sits at the base of the altar. In front, white painted horses and a small red-clad seated figure, possibly a shrine ornament, flank the steps, with colourful toys and a row of alphabet letters across the platform.
