A temple shrine with a golden arched frame and green draped backdrop shows a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together, decorated with red and yellow flower garlands and jewelled ornaments. The main figure wears an orange turban and holds a trident-like ritual implement, while the consort wears a crown and pearl necklaces. A smaller standing devotee statue in orange-red dhoti and white beaded mala stands in a side niche. Carved stone pillars frame the scene, and the bottom edge shows a crown-like silver offering and a head of a person in the foreground.
