Two small metal deity murti are dressed in pink and gold brocade cloths and decorated with layered gold chains, pearl and bead strands, and jewelled pendants. They sit on a red carpet in front of a large ornate brass pedestal with embossed floral and scroll patterns and a green-and-gold floral garland at the top. The arrangement suggests alankaram, the decorative dressing of deity images during worship. No people are visible.
