Two gilded metal murtis of a male and female deity stand together in a temple shrine, both draped in heavy garlands of yellow, pink, red and white flowers. The figure on the left wears a white and gold turban-like cloth, white lace-patterned chest ornament, gold necklaces and white lace earrings, and raises one hand in blessing. The figure on the right wears a gold crown, white lace jewellery, layered gold necklaces and a red kumkum dot on the forehead, holding a ceremonial staff. Carved golden wooden or stone architecture frames them and foliage shows behind. A printed date stamp reads 15.10.2006 in the lower right. These are statues, not living people.
