Two metal deity murtis, a male and a female form, stand side by side against a dark interior background, heavily adorned with garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigolds and magenta and maroon flowers. The male murti wears a cream and gold turban-style head cloth, a silver and gold embellished chest piece and a gold necklace, and holds a ceremonial staff. The female murti wears a jeweled crown and a silver-embroidered upper garment with blue trim, with a pink flower tucked near the hand. Both have ornate earrings and a red tilak on the forehead. The scene reads as a ratha procession deity murti display.
