Photograph of a temple shrine with a stone arch and orange curtains draped on the sides. At the centre stands a pair of deity murtis, one wearing an orange crown and orange garments with a rudraksha-style necklace, the other in a black crown and red-orange blouse with a pink skirt, both decorated with multicoloured flower garlands. Between them rises a black Linga on a black yoni-peetha, with brass oil lamps at the sides. A small orange-robed statue of a sage sits at the right foot of the shrine beside a seated orange-clad figure, and a garlanded orange-clad figure sits to the left. No living people are clearly visible in the shrine itself.
