A golden shrine arch framed by grey stone pillars houses a large statue pair on a red backdrop: a deity murti with a tall orange-and-gold crown, a trident in one hand, and a blue-and-pink skirted figure beside it with a dark crown and a gold necklace. Both are garlanded with yellow and purple flower strands. In front sits a small seated figure in an orange-and-gold shawl draped over a white cloth, wearing a beaded necklace and a golden crown-like headpiece, with a small statue of a woman in blue at the right edge. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides. No living people are visible, so this is a statue scene.
