Two golden deity murtis, a male and a female form, are decorated for worship and surrounded by heaped garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. The male murti wears an orange and red turban with a jewelled crown, a silver trident-like weapon in his hand, and an orange garment with ornate beaded necklaces. The female murti wears a jewelled crown, a green sari-style garment, layered gold necklaces, a nose ring and jewelled earrings, holding a small golden implement. In the foreground stands a decorated kalasha-like offering basket covered with green leaves and flowers. Green sequined drapery and a gilded arch frame the scene. No people are visible.
