Two gilded deity murtis of Shiva and Parvati are seated side by side on a flower-decorated throne, framed by thick garlands of yellow marigolds and red, purple and white blossoms. The figure on the left wears a turquoise turban with a jewelled crown, a trident in his raised hand, rudraksha beads and layered gold and jewelled necklaces over blue draped garments. The female figure on the right wears a blue sari with gold jewellery, a jewelled crown and holds a small green parrot. A gold arch and red curtain form the backdrop, with a plain concrete ceiling above. The murtis are statues, not living people, and no readable text appears in the frame.
