A photograph of a temple shrine with a gilded arched frame and a red curtain backdrop. Seated at the centre is a golden deity murti of a divine couple, a male figure with a crown and a female figure with a crown, both adorned with white pearl necklaces and red-and-yellow flower garlands. A black Shivalinga stands in front, draped in red and garlanded with marigold and red flower strands, set on a silver yoni peetha. A smaller standing statue in a green-curtained niche to the right wears a red turban and white beaded necklace. Brass offerings, bananas, fruit and a small silver vessel lie before the shrine, and a purple and green silk cloth drapes the base. No living people are visible.
