A temple shrine with a seated deity murti of Shiva and Parvati-like figures decorated with garlands and colourful silk garments; a seated figure with trident and red garlands dominates, flanked by standing attendant statues in purple, green and black garments with garlands. Brass oil lamps stand in front of a golden arch and red curtain, with a jewelled sculpted pedestal below. These are statues, not living people, and no person is visible in the scene.
