A gilded shrine image of a deity pair seated within an ornate golden arched frame before a red drape. The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban and a dark rudraksha-style mala with green and red stones, holding a trident and a gold ritual implement. The figure on the right wears a tall gold crown and layered jewelled necklaces. Both are gold-coloured murtis. Garlands of yellow and magenta flowers hang from the shoulders, and a gold kalasha-like object with green gems stands in the foreground, with brass lamps on either side. This is a statue, not a living person.
