A photograph of a shrine housing a pair of gilded deity murti standing under a golden arched frame, set within a stone pavilion with carved granite pillars and a plain ceiling. The murti on the left holds a trident and a drum-like object and wears a red-orange headcloth, while the figure on the right wears a crown and a purple and blue garment. Both wear necklaces, and marigold and red garlands drape across the figures and the golden pedestal in front. Brass lamp stands line the open sides of the shrine, with greenery visible beyond the metal railings.
