Inside a gilded temple shrine, a large pair of deity murti stand together with a red-orange backdrop: the figure on the left has four arms, red face and a crown and holds a trident, while the figure on the right wears a tall crown and a chain of beads. Both wear garlands of red and yellow flowers and white dhotis with coloured borders. In front, a seated kalasha-like brass vessel and a small smaller murti are decorated with garlands. A young boy in an orange robe and rudraksha mala kneels at a brass plate of offerings, with oil lamps and bananas nearby, performing puja. A second, smaller shrine on the right holds a seated murti in a blue niche with a garland. No a person candidate is visible.
