The seated male figure on the left has a tall conical crown, a bare torso with a ceremonial necklace, and raises one hand holding a small vessel. The seated female figure on the right wears an ornate tiered crown, layered necklaces and jewelled arm bands, and her hand rests on a wooden block. Palm trees and a man in a white vest sit nearby, with other people in the background. The statues are depictions of deities, not living people.

A photograph under a white tarpaulin at a temple-restoration site shows a person in an orange-saffron wrap with long dark hair leaning in to touch a large bronze deity murti, seated with a crown and a shoulder-draped ornate necklace, beside a second bronze goddess figure with a tall jatamukuta-style headdress. Behind them, a bare-chested worker in a green vest and a person in white stand among rubble, green trees and a metal cart. The person in saffron is visible from the side, and the scene reads as a visit to inspect the sculptures. a person identity is unsure from appearance alone.

The figure wears a tall ornate crown, large earrings, layered necklaces and a sash, with one hand raised in abhaya-like gesture and another holding a small object. Scattered around it are loose tools, a small brick, an open cardboard box, a coiled wire, metal rods and fragments of brass fittings. The wall behind has carved relief panels. Several ornate metal pieces lie on the ground near the base.

A photograph of a gilded metal murti of a seated divine couple on a rectangular pedestal under a corrugated roof in an outdoor courtyard. The figure on the left, with a tall crown, raises a hand holding a ritual object and wears layered ornate necklaces and a jewelled chest piece; the figure on the right, also crowned, leans against the first with an arm around its shoulder and its hand resting on the pedestal, wearing elaborate armlets and a dhoti.

No living people are visible, and the statue is a deity murti, not a depiction of any person.
