The deity pair is draped in garlands of red, yellow, purple, orange and white flowers forming a floral arch. In front stands a golden shivalinga-like object decorated with pink and white garlands, with incense smoke rising. On the left, a man with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron-orange cloth stands holding a small brass lamp and a ritual cord, smiling.
