The left figure wears a red crown, several necklaces, a garland and a red and gold dhoti, and holds ritual objects in raised hands; the right figure wears a tall crown, a red and gold blouse and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Between them stands a central linga-like form draped with a multicoloured garland and a decorated cloth. Brass oil lamps and a small offering tray sit at the front, and a smaller figure in an ochre robe stands in a side niche. No physical people are visible.
