Two deity murtis stand together on a raised platform: the male figure wears a red and orange turban, a red-and-white garland, a bead necklace, and holds a trident-like staff, while the female figure wears a red sari with a gold border and red bead necklaces. Both are garlanded with yellow and purple flower strands. Golden oil lamps stand on either side, and a red curtain hangs behind. In front, a framed printed photograph shows a smiling man in orange robes wearing a bead necklace, set on a red-and-gold stand. No physical people are visible.
