Two copper-coloured metal murti statues of deities stand before a golden curtain in a temple setting. The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban with a red-and-gold bindi, holds a trident and a damaru drum, and is draped in a beaded and embroidered garment with red rose garlands. The figure on the right wears an ornate crown with a jewelled band, heavy multi-coloured gemstone necklaces, large earrings and red rose garlands, and holds a lotus stem. Both statues are adorned with flower garlands and ornaments, set against gold brocade and carved stone walls.

Two ornate deity murti statues stand together against a draped red curtain framed by gilded arch carvings.
