Two golden utsava murtis of deities stand on a decorated platform for a Brahmotsav procession. The male murti wears a red-orange turban, a black velvet bodice with layered gold and silver necklaces, a cream and gold dhoti-like cloth, and holds a golden staff with a finial in one hand and a flower bouquet of red and white blooms in the other. The female murti wears a black and gold crown, a lavender-purple sari edged in gold, heavy gold necklaces and bangles, and holds a golden lotus-like object. Garlands of marigolds, roses and white flowers drape both figures, with an orange cloth backdrop and a lattice screen behind them.
