Inside a stone temple shrine, two large deity murtis stand side by side beneath a gilded arch with a golden curtain behind them. The figure on the left has a red-orange turban, a dark face, multiple arms holding a trident-like weapon, and a white and red dhoti; the figure on the right wears a tall crown, a blue and gold garment, and a long garland. Both wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and red flower garlands. In front is a decorated kalasha or ritual object wrapped in red and purple cloth with a garland, oil lamps stand on either side, and a smaller deity murti stands in a green-curtained niche to the right. No people are visible.
