A temple sanctum with a large golden deity murti of a seated multi-armed Shiva-form figure with a crown and garlands, behind a central shivalinga-like sculpture draped with white and marigold garlands and a rudraksha mala. In front, a small blue-robed figure sits with hands folded, and to the right a standing figure in red and gold robes with a red headdress and beaded necklaces stands in a blue-curtained niche beside a lit oil lamp. Tall brass oil lamps flank the altar, and red and gold drapery frames the scene. No living people are present; all figures are statues.
