A decorated temple shrine with a golden arch framing a deity murti group. Two deity figures sit atop a decorated vahana-like mount, one in red and orange with a crown and red-and-gold necklaces, the other in red with a garland. Garlands of yellow and red marigolds drape the figures and a large seated figure below. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a small devotee-like figure is painted on a side panel. Red curtains and stone pillars surround the shrine.
