Two metal murti statues of a deity couple stand before a teal satin backdrop framed by an ornate gold arch. The male figure wears an orange-saffron cloth and a decorated crown, holds a trident and a rudraksha-like beaded necklace, and wears garlands of red roses and white flowers. The female figure wears a gold crown, a purple sari, and multi-strand gem necklaces with red and green stones, also garlanded with red roses and greenery. Oil lamps glow at the bottom edge. The sculptures are idols, not living people; the image shows a deity murti rather than a person. No living people are visible.
