Both wear white tripundra vibhuti on their foreheads, rudraksha malas and bangles. The woman on the right holds her golden vessel high and wears a rudraksha mala over her saree. Small stone lingams and stepped stone pillars fill the background.

Each woman holds a tall gold conical vessel above her lingam, pouring water. Their foreheads bear white vibhuti markings and they wear rudraksha malas around their necks. Small stone shivalinga-shaped pillars stand on the steps behind them, and small brass lamps sit at the bases.

Both wear white vertical tilak marks on their foreheads, rudraksha malas around their necks, and bangles. The woman on the right raises a long golden horn-shaped instrument in her right hand while her left hand rests near the lingam, and the woman on the left holds a similar golden horn upward. Tiered stone pedestals with rounded tops line the steps behind them, and small brass pots sit at the lower left.
