Two ornately adorned metal murti statues of a deity couple sit on a raised platform before a red velvet backdrop within a gilded arch. The male figure wears an orange turban with a crescent ornament, a blue garment, layered jewelled necklaces, rudraksha mala and holds a trident. The female figure wears a blue sari, jewelled crown and necklaces. Yellow and purple flower garlands drape both figures and a silver kalasha-shaped pot with green leaves in front. These are statues, not living people.

The male deity wears a red turban and crown, a blue dhoti-style lower garment, layered silver jewelled necklaces and holds a trident, with a damaru-like hand object. The female deity wears a red and orange sari, silver necklaces and a dark headdress with crown ornament. Between them, a tall silver shivalinga-like object is garlanded with marigolds and yellow flowers.

In front, a smaller figure in a white dhoti with a red-bordered cloth and a pearl-and-bead necklace is seated before a golden kalasha-like vessel, marigold and rose garlands draped over it. Brass oil lamps and a lit diya stand on the platform in front, with pink sequined fabric below. The image shows a deity worship arrangement, with no living people visible.
