Two painted metal or wooden deity murti stand on a white-draped throne-like seat before a gold-embossed ornate backdrop with orange and gold drapery. The figure on the left wears an orange turban, holds a trident, and has a blue and navy garment with a white skirt; the figure on the right wears a crown-like headdress, multi-strand gold and jewelled necklaces, and a brown patterned skirt. Both are garlanded with red and yellow flower garlands. A golden kalasha-like vessel with green leaves and a snake-hood shaped ornament sits to the right. No living people are visible.

The left figure, a male deity form, has a red turban with a jewelled crown, a trident held in one hand, and a rudraksha mala with gold ornaments; the right figure wears a red sari, a jewelled crown and a red-and-white floral garland. Both are adorned with yellow and green marigold garlands and red roses. These are statues, not living people, and no a person candidate is physically present.

The figure on the left wears an orange turban with a peacock-feather crest, has multiple rows of silver and gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beads, and holds a trident and a gold ceremonial staff. The figure on the right wears a teal and gold sari with jewelled necklaces and a black crown, holding a small object in one hand. Both are garlanded with yellow, purple and red flower strands, and offerings of red flowers and green leaves sit at their feet. No living people are visible.

The left figure, a metal murti with a red turban and rudraksha malas, holds a trident and a silver hand gesture; the right figure wears a red sari, a jeweled crown and garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses. Both figures are adorned with rudraksha beads, gold necklaces and ornate earrings. No living people are visible; this is a shrine image, not a person.

The male figure wears a red turban, a blue and gold dhoti and a jewelled necklace, and holds a trident and a small drum-like instrument. The female figure wears a dark crown, large earrings, layered gold necklaces and a purple sari, holding a lotus-like object. Both are garlanded with white and red flower garlands, and the scene suggests a puja setting. These are statues, not physical people.

The figure on the left is a deity murti with an orange turban-style crown, a trident and damaru-like drum raised in hand, and an orange-and-saffron dhoti. Beside it, a consort murti wears a dark maroon sari, layered gold necklaces, jewelled earrings and a black updo with a jewelled headpiece. Both are draped in garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers with green leaves. Their hands are adorned with bangles and jewelled hand coverings. The setting appears to be a temple sanctum with carved stone pillars on the right.
