Two golden-faced deity murti figures stand side by side in a temple niche before a dark red curtain. The male figure, with a gold-and-red turban, ornate silver and gold necklaces, and a red and gold brocade dhoti, holds a trident-like staff in one raised hand and raises the other in blessing. The female figure wears a cream sari with red-gold border, a gold headpiece with pearls, layered gold necklaces, and holds a lotus-like object. Both are draped in red and yellow marigold and rose garlands, and the lower figure wears a lavender skirt-like drapery. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam setting.
