A photograph of a pair of gilded metal murti seated on a stone pedestal before a shivalinga, framed by a large arch of marigold, yellow and red flower garlands. The male figure wears an orange and gold striped dhoti-like wrap, an orange turban-style headpiece, layered white and gold necklaces, and holds a trident. The female figure wears a purple and gold sari, gold jewellery and a crown, holding a lotus-like object. No physical people are visible. The page-supplied a person flag does not establish that a human candidate is present, and the figures are statues, so this is a depiction of deities rather than a person.

Both are decorated with flower garlands and an orange cloth draped at the base, with floral arches and green foliage behind them.
