On the right, two golden metallic deity murtis stand in an arched gold frame: one wears a red and green turban and the other a tall crown, both draped in red-and-white flower garlands and gold necklaces, with gold-and-blue dhotis and yellow skirts. In front, an ornate gold throne with red cushions holds a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure wearing a rudraksha mala. A small brass lamp, offerings and a flower garland sit on a white-draped table. A man with glasses and a red forehead mark sits at the lower left, and a partly visible person appears at the bottom.
