The male figure wears a red-orange turban with a jeweled ornament, rudraksha beads, white and gem-studded necklaces, and an orange garment; he holds a trident-like staff and raises one hand in blessing. The female figure wears a silver jeweled crown, layered silver necklaces, and an orange and maroon sari, and holds a small object at her side. Both are adorned with red and white flower garlands with yellow marigold strands, and a green leaf sprig is visible. A small bird perches near the male figure's staff.
