Two gilded metal statues of a deity couple seated side by side on a throne before a red draped curtain inside a temple. The male figure wears an orange-yellow turban, a blue garment, and holds a trident and a snake-topped staff, with a rudraksha mala and white flower garlands. The female figure wears a crown-like headdress, a green sari, and a rudraksha mala with red and white garlands. Both have ornate jewelry and gold-framed arch behind them. These are statues, not people.
