A golden temple shrine with an ornate gilded arched frame and carved stone pillars. Two gilded deity murtis sit side by side on a raised throne: the left figure wears a tall crown and holds a trident-like staff, the right wears a gold crown and ornaments, both with garlands of red, yellow and green flowers. In front, a golden lingam-shaped form is draped with garlands. A small white statue in red garments with a rudraksha-style necklace stands before the altar. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, banana plants frame the scene, red curtains hang behind, and string lights are visible above.
