Golden murti of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati seated together on a throne beneath a golden arch, both decorated with heavy jewelled necklaces and flower garlands. A red-and-gold crown sits on Shiva's head and a red-and-gold headdress on Parvati's. A large Shivalinga in front is draped with red and white flower garlands and green leaves. Flanking figures include a standing deity murti on the left holding a staff with a garland, and a sage-like murti in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala on the right. Oil lamps glow in the foreground, with a silhouette of a person at the bottom edge. The scene is a temple setting with golden ornamentation and a patterned backdrop.
