The statue on the left is seated on a pink and yellow lotus base and wears an orange turban and a white dhoti with a patterned border; it holds a rope and a modak-like object. The statue on the right wears a red and purple turban, a multicoloured blouse, gold armlets and a white dhoti with a red-brown border, raising one hand in blessing. Both figures are splashed with pink, orange and green paint. Orange plinths support them, with a small green and red deity murti at the base of the right statue.
