A devotee in an orange sleeveless top with long dark hair stands from behind at the lower left, facing a golden shrine. Two seated deity murti are framed by a gilded arch against red drapery: the figure on the left wears an orange turban and holds a trident, the figure on the right wears a crown and blue garment. Both are adorned with jewelled necklaces and strands of yellow and red flower garlands. In front stands a golden kalasha-like pedestal, brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a small offering plate with fruit sits at the lower left. No living person is seated on the throne, and the devotee appears to be performing darshan.
