Photograph of a pair of gilded metal murti statues of a deity couple standing before a magenta silk backdrop framed by an ornate gold arch. The male figure wears an orange and red twisted turban, holds a trident and a damaru drum with gilt and jewelled hands, and has a red brocade chest covering with gold chains. The female figure wears a black hair crown with gold ornaments, long pink-and-gold earrings, layered pearl and bead necklaces and a red sari with green border. Red roses and white flowers form garlands around both figures, and a small green parrot perches near the female figure's hand. The scene shows statues, not living people.
