Two ornately decorated murti of a deity pair seated side by side in an arched gold-framed shrine niche before deep maroon velvet drapery. The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban and a jeweled crown, a green bodice with layered silver-white necklaces, and holds a trident and a ritual staff; the figure on the right wears a black crown with jeweled ornaments, an orange sari, a purple skirt, and heavy necklaces, with red and yellow flower garlands draped over both figures. Statues are shown, not living people; the scene reads as a deity murti display during worship.
