Two gilded deity murtis stand side by side before an orange draped backdrop framed by an ornate gold arch. The figure on the left, with a trident (trishul) at his side and a raised golden palm, wears a red and gold turban, a rudraksha mala, a blue garment, and bright round ornaments. Beside him, the figure on the right wears a tall jewelled crown, large floral-patterned earrings, a layered necklace, and a garland of red roses. A green parrot perches between them, and fresh rose garlands and green leaves decorate the scene. The image shows statues, not living people.

Two gilded metal murti statues of a deity couple seated side by side against a backdrop of marigold, purple and white flower garlands. The male figure wears a red-orange turban with a vertical tilak and holds a golden trident aloft, with a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces over red robes. The female figure wears a tall ornate crown, red robes, gem-set jewelry, and holds a small green parrot on her raised hand. Their hands and garments are decorated with white and green stone inlay. The setting suggests a temple decorated with flowers, consistent with a darshan display of deity murtis rather than living people.
