The figure on the left wears an orange turban, white dhoti-style cloth, a golden trident held upright, and a green-and-white beaded necklace with garlands. The figure on the right wears a pink silk sari, a black crown set with jewels, a gold necklace, and holds a small staff, with a long braid over one shoulder. A white cloth drapes at the left edge and gold-toned architectural carving frames the top. Both figures are metallic statues, not living people.
