The male figure wears a pink turban, rudraksha and bead necklaces, and holds a trident and drum-like object; the female figure wears a tall gold crown and jewelled necklaces. Yellow and purple flower garlands hang across the central shivalinga-like pedestal and both figures. In front, a small white and turquoise-clad figure sits with a pink garland, beside brass kalasha pots, bowls, a bell, and tall brass oil lamps on each side. No physical people are visible; the pictured figures are statues.
