A standing man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands at left, holding green leaves toward a pair of golden deity murtis decorated with yellow and magenta garlands. The central image is a male deity holding a trident, wearing a red cloth and silver jewellery; beside him a female deity in a white and green sari with a pink border holds a lotus-like emblem. A small blue-clad figure and a kalasha sit at the base, with flower offerings in a silver tray at lower right. A yellow-and-white banner above reads the deity names. The scene suggests a temple abhishekam or puja setting under a golden canopy. The man has long hair, rudraksha beads and a shawl over his shoulder.
