Photograph of a temple shrine with carved grey stone pillars and a wooden ceiling. At the centre stands a large deity murti of a seated Shiva-Parvati pair with a cobra hood above, draped in pink and blue cloth and garlanded with yellow-orange flowers, framed by a gold arch and orange curtains. In front is a small orange-robed statue on a black-and-white embroidered cloth, with brass oil lamps and bowls on the floor. To the right is a standing statue of a figure in white and maroon. No living people are visible. Pale carved sculptures and potted greenery sit beyond the pillars.

A temple shrine photograph showing two large deity murtis seated side by side on a raised pink-draped platform within an ornate gilded arch. The left figure holds a trident and wears a striped orange and green turban and a red-and-white ceremonial garland, while the right figure wears a tall crown and long dark hair, with both sculptures draped in pink cloth and wreathed in red and white flower garlands. Between them stands a silver-and-purple decorated object with a row of oil lamps, and a bejewelled cloth and brass lamps sit in front. A smaller painted figure in orange and green stands in a side niche, and a hanging brass oil lamp is visible at the sides. No living people are present.

The deity on the left holds a trident and wears a striped orange turban, a white dhoti and a long beaded necklace; the figure on the right wears a crown, a red-and-pink sari and garlands.

The Shiva figure holds a trident and wears a crown and rudraksha mala, with an orange cloth; the consort figure wears orange and a purple skirt with ornaments. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers hang across them. In front, a white statue of a seated sannyasi in orange robes sits on an orange-draped seat. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the platform, with a small orange image on a stand to the right. Red curtains hang at the sides of the open pavilion.
