The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, red and gold garments, layered jewelled necklaces and holds a trident; the figure on the right wears a gold crown, red sari-style dress and heavy necklaces, with one hand raised in blessing. Yellow and purple flower garlands drape both figures, and a tall brass oil lamp stands at left.
