The male figure wears a red and orange turban with a jeweled crown, a yellow garment with ornate silver-and-gem chest ornaments, and holds a trident. The female figure wears a magenta sari with green border, layered jeweled necklaces and a black crown, and holds a lotus-like object. Both are garlanded with red and yellow flower malas. A silver oil lamp with a bird-shaped stand stands at left and a silver offering tray with roses at right. Gold-embossed arch frames the scene, with a green-and-red curtain behind. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.
