principal enshrined deity
'enshrined' should probably be included in the description.

Steven Smith
: Just 'principal deity' is also fine.

: I do not think "enshrined" is necessary since 祀られ follows. But this is good.

Main diety
Usually there are multiple dieties hosted at a shrine. But the main one is the term you have in Japanese.
So I simply translate as main diety.
