Two bronze deity statues with green patina stand in a temple entrance beside red-painted walls and a granite pillar. The left figure has four arms, a tall crown and a trident held upright, with a snake coiled at its feet. The right figure dances on one leg with flowing arms, holding a trident and a drum-like object near a flame-shaped arch. A large arched halo frame with flame motifs surrounds the figures. No living people are visible.
