Two golden metal deity murtis stand together in an ornate gilded arched frame against a turquoise satin backdrop. The figure on the left has an orange turban, a trident-like staff in one hand, and a jeweled necklace, with a garland of yellow and white flowers around the neck. The figure on the right wears a blue and gold sari, a tall jeweled headdress with a red tassel, a long layered necklace, and a garland of pink and purple flowers. Both have painted red lips and bindis, and the scene reads as a decorated temple shrine rather than people.
