A photograph of a temple shrine with a large golden-framed alcove and a red drape behind it. Two crowned deity murtis stand side by side, Shiva and Parvati-form figures, with multiple arms holding ritual objects, adorned with gold jewelry and garlands of red and yellow flowers. In front, a Shiva lingam wrapped in garlands sits on a peetha with brass vessels and a kalasha. A smaller statue of a woman in a blue-curtained niche holds a garland, next to a tall brass oil lamp. A small Ganesha figure appears at the left edge. No people are visible.
