Two gold-toned deity murtis of Shiva and Parvati are seated together under an ornate gilded arch with gold brocade drapery behind them. The male murti wears a red turban, a blue garment with gold borders, a heavy jewelled necklace and holds a trident. The female murti wears a red and gold sari with a black headpiece decorated with red flowers and a long garland of yellow and red blossoms. A shivalinga-like base in front is adorned with red and yellow flower garlands and an orange cloth, with a row of green-jewelled lamps or ornaments above it. Brass oil lamps stand at the lower corners of the frame.
