A pair of golden-faced deity murtis sit within a gilded arched shrine niche against a teal drapery backdrop. The male figure wears a red, white and orange striped turban with a peacock feather, a deep maroon garment, layered white and gold necklaces, and holds a golden staff with a serpent-shaped top in one hand while the other hand is raised. Beside him a female figure wears a red and gold embroidered sari with a gold-trimmed veil and a jeweled headpiece, holding a golden implement. Garlands of red flowers rest at their base near a golden vessel, and a brass oil lamp stands at the left edge. No people are present.
