Two golden figures sit side by side on a decorated platform beneath an ornate gilded arch, garlanded with marigolds, pink and white flowers and strings of beads. The left figure wears a bright orange turban, a cream-gold garment, a bead necklace and pearl-like jewelry, with its right hand raised in blessing. The right figure wears a red and gold blouse, a heavy gold necklace, a jeweled crown and large earrings, holding a lotus-like stem. Both appear to be statues or murtis rather than living people, and a small green-and-gold tiered offering sits in front. A blue backdrop and a stone wall frame the scene.
