The figure on the left wears a red-orange turban and a silver-jewelled necklace and holds a trident; the figure on the right wears a white garment, silver jewellery and holds a small object in the raised hand. Between them sits a tall golden kalasha-like vessel with a silver ornamental base, all wrapped in yellow and red marigold garlands with green leaves. Below, a small white statue in orange robes and a flower garland sits on a golden pedestal, and a brass oil lamp is visible at the lower edge. The arrangement is an alankar decoration of the shrine figures.2010-07-13May 19 20132013-05-19
