Behind them stands a gilded arch framing a deity pair: a golden figure in yellow dhoti holding a trident and a female figure in a pink and green sari beside a golden shivalinga with flower garlands. Two other men in white, one wearing a white garland and a blue rosette, stand at right. Golden oil lamps and a brass tray with fruit are on the left.
