A photograph of a shrine inside a temple courtyard with grey stone pillars and an ornate gold arch. Two deity murtis stand together in the centre against an orange cloth backdrop: the male form wears an orange turban and crown, holds a trident and a rudraksha mala, and is paired with a female form in a red sari with gold jewellery. Both are draped in garlands of yellow and purple flowers, and a brass kalasha with a sacred lingam-like form stands before them on a gold pedestal. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and small garlanded offerings and a framed picture sit at the sides. No people are visible.
