A decorated temple shrine with a golden arched backdrop frames a pair of deity murtis seated on a raised platform: a male figure wearing a red and gold crown and white dhoti and a female figure in a pink sari with jewelled ornaments. Both are draped in garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers. In front stand brass oil lamps, a kalasha-like offering, a small brass lamp and scattered flower petals, with colourful toy-like sweets arranged at the base. Pink curtains, silver tinsel and hanging flower garlands surround the shrine. No living people are visible.
