The male figure wears a red and white dhoti-style cloth, a red-and-white turban-like headpiece with a peacock feather, a white beaded necklace and a green garland, and holds a trident-like staff and a sheaf of yellow leaves. The female figure wears a teal and red sari with gold border, layered gold necklaces, a flower-decorated headpiece and bangles, and rests her hand on her knee. A white-clothed priest in the foreground holds a marked tray before a small flower-decked pedestal. No living people are visible apart from the priest, and the figures are statues.
