A seated man in orange-saffron robes with a long rudraksha mala over his shoulders sits smiling beside large golden statues of a deity pair. The seated figure has a red tilak on his forehead and short dark hair, and his hands rest together in his lap. Behind him, a tall statue of a male deity wears a red and gold turban, an elaborate bead-and-medallion chest ornament, and holds a trident-like ritual object in one raised hand. Beside him stands a female statue in a green and gold silk sari with layered silver necklaces. Rose petals are scattered on the red platform, and brass oil lamps sit at the lower right. Whether the seated man is a particular person cannot be established from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.
