Two seated statues in saffron-orange robes are shown outdoors before a decorated backdrop. The statue on the left is white marble with a saffron head wrap and a gold-and-beaded necklace with a pendant, its right hand raised in blessing. The statue on the right is painted in warm skin tones with a saffron head wrap, rudraksha mala and a gold-toned pendant, also raising its right hand in blessing. Both are draped in white and yellow garlands with red flowers. Behind them, a large garland-covered throne-like structure with purple, yellow and white flowers and a golden shawl surrounds a brass oil lamp placed on a low table with small lamps nearby. Marble-look statues depict teacher figures; no living people are visible.
