Two decorated metal murti figures stand against a deep red velvet backdrop. The figure on the left wears a saffron-orange turban with a crescent ornament and jewelled crown, a red garment with rhinestone-studded shoulder ornaments, and green and red gem necklaces, and holds a ceremonial implement. The figure on the right wears an ornate jewelled crown with a crescent, large jhumka earrings, layered pearl and gem necklaces and a magenta garment. Garlands of yellow and pink flowers appear at the right edge. Both figures are polished gold-toned statues rather than living people, and no ritual activity is visible.
