A temple shrine with a large deity murti pair seated on a raised throne: a male figure in a yellow turban and yellow dhoti with gold ornaments and a rudraksha mala, and a female figure in yellow sari with layered gold necklaces and bangles. Both are decorated with thick garlands of marigolds in yellow, orange and red, plus white flowers. In front, a smaller figure in yellow and a saffron turban sits with a flower garland and a brass kalasha-style vessel with flowers. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a small garlanded shrine figure appears at the right. Carved stone pillars and an arched gold frame surround the altar. No living people are visible.
