A temple shrine photographed from the front, with a large golden arched frame behind the deities. Two large painted deity murtis, one with a red and white turban and a crown, one with a green and gold crown, are dressed in yellow, green and red garments and draped with purple and white garlands. A smaller figure sits in front of them on a white cloth, with a rudraksha-style garland and a red head covering. To the right, a standing devotee statue in green and yellow robes with folded hands stands within a green-curtained niche. Brass oil lamps (diyas) and small brass vessels sit on the floor in front, and a dark stone-columned pavilion frames the scene. No living people are visible.
