Two life-size deity murtis stand outdoors in front of a green terraced hillside. The figure on the left is gold-coloured with four arms, wearing a red and gold crown, a red and orange silk dhoti, and a thick garland of white jasmine and yellow marigold; one hand holds a conch-like object and another is raised in abhaya gesture. The figure on the right, beside it, wears a tall ornate headdress, red and gold sari, layered white jasmine garlands and a green parrot-shaped ornament at the waist, with hands joined near the chest. The deity iconography is not fully clear, so both are described as deity murtis. No physical people are visible.
