A temple shrine scene with a golden arched frame enclosing two large deity murtis: a crowned figure with a red headband and multi-strand jewellery holding a trident-like staff, beside a consort in orange and gold garments. Both are garlanded with yellow, orange and purple flower malas. In front, a priest in orange robes stands at left raising a ritual item, while a figure in white and orange sits on a white-draped platform before brass lamps, plates and kalasha-like offerings. Stone pillars, a blue curtain and foliage frame the open pavilion.
