Two golden metal deity murtis, a male figure in a red-orange turban with a crown and multiple arms holding a trident-like staff, and a female figure in a white crown and orange sari with heavy garlands and jewellery, stand before a fuchsia draped backdrop and a gold arch. Two women in orange and maroon saris, one with a long braid, stand at the bottom, adorning or touching the murtis, with hands at the figure's arm. A small green parrot perches on the male figure's staff. The setting suggests a temple or wedding-related puja arrangement.
