The left figure wears a red and orange turban, a heavy silver necklace and holds a trident-like weapon and small drum; the right figure wears a dark crown, blue garment and silver jewellery. Both are garlanded with yellow and purple flower garlands. Below, a seated small figure in orange robes and a white shawl sits on a white-draped platform, with a rudraksha-style necklace and a golden pot and offering lamps arranged in front. Brass oil lamps, kalasha pots, flower offerings and a mandala-like tray lie on the platform. Red curtains and carved stone pillars frame the scene. No living people are visible.
