Two large silver-toned deity murtis of a seated male and female pair stand in the centre: the male wears a red and green turban, a crown, a trident in one hand, and ornate jewelled necklaces; the female wears a red-orange sari, a crown and jewelled ornaments. Between them a tall gold-and-silver shivalinga rises beneath a hooded serpent canopy. Marigold and yellow flower garlands drape the shrine. Flanking the deities are painted cut-out panels of a lion-like creature and a white bull-like figure, brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and green coconuts are visible at the edges. In the foreground a small white figure in a maroon robe with a gold chain sits below the linga, with brass vessels, offerings and a small silver-framed figure on the right side of the shrine.2009-09-26October 30 20112011-10-30Indoor temple photo of three decorated goddess figures seated on golden arched thrones before a shrine, with a smaller green-clad figure seated on a silver stand in front.
