A shrine display of a deity pair seated on a raised dais before a blue draped backdrop within a gilded arch. The larger seated figure wears an orange and green turban, layered bead necklaces and an ornate gold crown-like headpiece, holding a trident-like emblem; a female figure in an orange and green sari with a floral garland sits beside him. Yellow and purple garlands drape both figures and a rudraksha-style garland covers a central seat. In front, a small white and orange seated statue and a dark bead-decorated cushion rest on a red cloth. Brass oil lamps, potted palms, flower offerings in plates and a small figure in orange stand at the sides. Statues only, no living people.
