Gilded deity murti pair seated within an ornate golden arch against a lime-green backdrop. The male figure wears an orange and red turban-style crown, a trident in one hand and a damaru-like hand drum or staff, with a heavy jeweled necklace, rudraksha-like beaded garlands and a blue cloth at the base. The female figure wears an orange-red silk sari with gold border, layered gold necklaces, earrings and a jeweled headpiece, holding a small ceremonial object. Garlands of white jasmine and red flowers hang at both sides and marigold-yellow garlands drape over the arch. No living people are visible; this is a photograph of decorated murti statues.
