A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching upper wrap stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste before two deity murtis seated under a golden arched canopy. The murtis are dressed in green silk, with garlands of pink, red, white and purple flowers draped across them and gold ornaments and crowns. A gold-and-brown throne or seat is visible at left, and deep maroon velvet drapes line the back wall.
