A large seated sculpted pair dominates: the male figure wears an orange turban, red ornamented garment and a jeweled crown, holding a trident-like staff, and the female figure wears white with gold jewellery. Both are draped in yellow and pink-purple garlands and seated on a blue and pink cloth. In front, a figure in orange robes with long black hair kneels or bows at the base, with brass oil lamps and flower offerings beside. The seated pair appear to be statues or murtis rather than living people, and the kneeling figure appears to be a statue as well, so no physical people are clearly present.2008-10-19July 20 20102010-07-20
