Interior view of a temple shrine seen through a metal railing with a narrow walkway leading toward an elevated sanctum. Two large deity murtis sit on a raised golden-framed altar against orange and gold drapery; the figure on the left wears a red and gold crown and jewelled ornaments, and the figure on the right has a dark crown and green garment. Garlands of red and white flowers hang across the altar, and a small seated figure and a brass kalasha-like vessel with a rudraksha-style mala rest on the platform in front. A brass bowl sits at the base of the steps and a red carpet runs up the walkway. No people are visible.
