A metal utsava murti of a seated deity pair, a male figure with an orange turban and a female figure in a red and green sari, decorated with jewelled necklaces, earrings, bangles and garlands of red and purple flowers. The male holds a trident and a rudraksha-like object, and a brass kalasha with a lingam-shaped base sits before them. The pair is set against a gold brocade backdrop within an ornate gilded arch. No living people are visible, so the figures are statues.
