Photograph of a pair of silver-finished statues of a seated deity couple, a male figure in an orange turban and orange garments with a trident and damaru, and a female figure in a gold crown and orange sari with a trident-like staff, both adorned with red and yellow flower garlands, rudraksha and jewelled necklaces. They sit on a pale pink draped cloth before a bright pink backdrop and an ornate gold arch. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues, so the a person field is depiction only if a candidate is present, and here none is shown as a person.
