Flanking figures include statues in saffron-orange and maroon dhotis and shawls wearing garlands, one with a trident-like staff and a turban, and another holding an object in the raised hand. A devotee-like statue in a turban sits at the lower right near a brass lamp. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and flower petals are scattered on the floor before the shrine, with mirror-work and blue arched panels behind the figures.
