Two children sit cross-legged on a red draped platform before a gilded shrine with two decorated deity murtis, one in purple and white with a crown, the other in green with gold embroidery and jewelled necklaces, both surrounded by red, orange and yellow flower garlands and gold filigree arches and columns. In the foreground a boy wears a silver jewelled crown, white forehead markings, a yellow and white garland, silver ornaments and a purple lower garment, his hands held in mudra gestures. Beside him a girl in an orange-yellow dress wears a silver headpiece, silver necklaces, a yellow and red garland and white forehead markings, her hand raised in a gesture. Both children are seated in a worship setting with a visible kalasha-like shrine arrangement behind them.
