Two gilded statues in orange robes sit side by side under a concrete canopy before an orange drape. The left figure wears an orange turban with a tilak mark, rudraksha malas across the chest and arms, and raises one hand in abhaya mudra while holding a staff. The right figure wears an orange sari-style garment, a tall matted hair crown, gold necklace and rudraksha malas, and holds a trident-like staff. Both are garlanded with purple, yellow, white and magenta flower strands. The figures are statues, not living people, and the setting appears to be a festival altar.
