Two gilded metal murti figures are displayed under an ornate gold arch, richly decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. The figure on the left wears an orange turban with jewelled ornaments, a cream-gold embroidered garment with a brown sash, jewelled bracelets and a raised hand; he sits on an orange brocade cushion. The figure on the right wears an elaborate jewelled crown, heavy layered necklaces, large earrings and an orange garment, and holds a small metal object. Brass and gold ritual items appear at the left edge. No living people are visible, and the figures are statues, not persons.
