Both are draped in garlands of marigold and red and purple flowers. Below them sits a smaller figure in orange and gold with a yellow turban and a pale face, also garlanded.

At the centre, two figures sit before an ornate arch of green and silver patterned fabric: one wears an orange turban and orange dhoti with a garland, the other wears a green sari with gold jewellery and a crown-like headdress. Both appear to be statues or murtis rather than living people. Flanking figures in gold and orange stand on red-cushioned bases, with tall painted pillars in red, green and white. A black cylindrical object stands in front on a dais, with brass oil lamps on stands at either side. The surroundings are decorated with greenery and a rope barrier runs across the floor.2016-07-04Two deity murtis seated side by side on an ornate throne backed by a large jewelled arch of red, green and dark embroidered fabric studded with mirror-like gems.

The figure on the right wears a tall jewelled crown, a red and orange silk garment, and heavy gold necklaces and armlets.
