Two ornately adorned deity murtis, a male and female pair, sit before a red velvet drape within a gilded arched frame. The male murti wears an orange-red turban topped with a jeweled crown, a red garment, layered rhinestone and gold necklaces, and large jeweled earrings; he holds a golden trident-like staff in one hand and raises the other in abhaya-style blessing. The female murti wears a white and gold sari, a tall jeweled hairstyle with ornaments, layered pearl and stone necklaces, and holds a lotus-like object. Garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers drape over them. The image is a photograph of statues, not living people.
