Inside a temple shrine, a large gilded murti of a seated deity couple dominates the frame, the male figure holding a trident and the female holding a lotus, both draped in green and gold garments and garlanded with yellow, orange and purple flower strands. Before them stands a gilded shivalinga-style altar with flower garlands, and in front a red-robed figure with a rudraksha-style necklace sits at the base of the shrine, appearing to be a devotee or priest. Gilded oil lamps flank the altar, red curtains hang on both sides, and small brass puja vessels and offerings are arranged on the platform. Carved stone pillars frame the shrine arch.
