Two golden metal murti statues of a seated male deity and a female consort are decorated for worship on a gold-draped pedestal. The male figure wears a white dhoti with gold borders, a white head wrap, layered gold and silver necklaces and a shiva-lingam-style crown; his right hand is raised in abhaya mudra. The female figure wears a green silk sari with gold brocade, a red blouse, silver crown and layered jewellery. Both are garlanded with marigolds and white jasmine, and flower petals lie at their feet. The setting is a shrine with red curtains and carved golden architecture, with no people present.
