A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a large black stone shivalinga-style Shiva-Parvati pair of statues under a gilded arch with red drape behind. The central deity murti is Shiva and Parvati seated together, adorned with garlands of white flowers and green-and-white beads. A woman in an orange sari with a green blouse stands at the left, bending over the shrine with a small offering. Two standing figures flank the central murti: a bearded sage-like statue in red robes and an orange turban with yellow marigold garland on the right, and a figure with a tall white crown and red-and-green garlands on the left. A small brass standing figure and a red-clad figure stand on the altar, with brass lamps and an orange-and-gold drape at right.
