Gilded metal statues of a deity couple seated on a golden throne-like seat before a deep red velvet curtain framed by an ornate gold arch. The male figure wears a saffron-orange turban with a crescent moon ornament, a maroon garment and layered silver and jewelled necklaces, and holds a trident and a small drum-like item. The female figure wears an orange sari, a golden crown, large earrings and a pearl-and-gem necklace, and holds a green parrot. Strands of white and red flower garlands drape both figures, and a green-leaved offering is visible.2015-08-09October 08 20172017-10-08 +1 copiesA pair of metal deity murtis, a male and a female form, stand side by side before a green silk backdrop framed in ornate gold.

The left figure wears a red-orange turban with a crescent moon and a tilak, holds a trident and a damaru, and wears layered gold necklaces and a purple garment. The right figure wears an ornate white-and-gold crown, gold earrings, a black hair braid, and garlands of white jasmine and red flowers. Crescent-moon and tilak iconography suggests Shiva and Parvati murti; the tilak and crescent are clear while the exact form is not certain.
