The shrine holds a large deity murti pair with a figure wearing a red crown and holding a trident and a standing female figure in pink-and-red garments, both draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Below them is a small blue deity figure, and brass oil lamps, a kalasha and small offering vessels sit on the stone platform. Grey carved stone pillars frame the shrine, with a red-and-white striped wall behind it and green trees beyond. A person in saffron clothing is seen from behind, so the figure is a devotee or sannyasi and no identification is made.2010-09-15December 10 20112011-12-10March 23 20132013-03-23A photograph inside a stone temple shrine with a carved granite pillar and a gold-framed arch.

Seated centrally on a stone platform is a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes, holding a brass vessel and performing a ritual beside a deity murti with a cobra hood, flanked by two figures in red and gold garments, with a brass lamp stand nearby. Two women in white and red-floral saris stand at the right edge, and a figure in orange kneels with hands folded at the lower left. The seated man's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm he is a person, so he is described only as a priest in saffron robes.2007-02-24December 10 20072007-12-10
