The figure on the left wears an orange turban and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and holds a trident-like emblem at the edge of frame. The figure on the right wears a black crown with jewelled ornaments, a white and gold-bordered sari, layered silver and gem necklaces, and a long braid wrapped in pink and yellow flower garlands.

A temple shrine view of a large gilded murti pair seated on a red-and-gold throne-like base before a golden draped backdrop. The seated deity figures wear white dhotis, gold necklaces and crowns, one holding a trident, both framed by yellow marigold and red rose garlands. In front, a black stone linga is wrapped in an orange cloth and draped with a hooded metal cobra, with a golden band at its base. A small white marble statue of a seated sage in a white shawl and mala sits at the lower front, beside a brass oil lamp. No living people are visible; the scene is a deity murti arrangement with garlands and offerings, suggestive of a puja setting.

A gilded shrine arch frames a pair of ornately decorated metal deity murtis seated on a golden throne-like dais, the left figure with a red-and-gold crown, trident and a raised hand, the right figure in white and gold garments with layered jewelry. Between them stands a silver shivalinga-style vessel with a kalasha-shaped top, draped in yellow and red marigold garlands. In the foreground, a figure in an orange robe sits at the base of the shrine, partly obscured by the garlands, with oil lamps and brass vessels on the altar. Red velvet hangings line the back of the sanctum.
