Two gilded statues of Shiva and Parvati stand side by side within an ornate golden arch against a deep red curtain, with green foliage behind. The Shiva figure wears an orange-red turban and a red dhoti with a purple lower cloth, holds a trident and a damaru-like staff, and wears layered white and red beaded garlands. The Parvati figure wears an orange-red sari with a green border, a gold crown, and multi-strand garlands, and rests a hand on Shiva's shoulder. These are deity murti rather than living people.
