Golden murtis of a male and a female deity are decorated for worship in a temple shrine. The male figure wears an orange-red turban with a gold crown and a jewelled brooch, a white-and-silver-stone necklace, and holds a bow and arrow. The female figure wears a red-orange sari, layered diamond-style necklaces and a gold crown, and holds a lotus-like object. Both are framed by yellow marigold garlands and white jasmine strands against red satin drapery. Below them a golden hooded serpent canopy arches over a seated human figure in an orange turban and white dhoti, whose face is hidden, seated before the murtis. A gold arched frame surrounds the scene.
