A shrine arch framed in gold holds a statue pair of a seated male deity with a red turban and a female deity in a crown-like headdress, draped in a red cloth backdrop. The male figure wears a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklaces, holding a ritual staff and a small object, while the female figure sits sidesaddle in a red and pink sari with a red garland. A smaller standing attendant in a red turban and gold garlands stands to the left with one hand raised, and an ornate green and gold lingam-like object sits on a stand with white and red flower garlands in front.
