Golden metal murti of a seated divine couple before a magenta velvet drape within an ornate gilded arch. The male figure wears an orange and green turban, blue garment with red-brown beaded necklaces and a sparkling blue-jewelled pendant, holds a trident and raises one hand in abhaya mudra. The female figure wears a golden crown, green-and-white jewelled necklace, mustard-gold sari and red-brown beaded chain. Both are garlanded with yellow marigolds and red roses and wear large decorative earrings. This is a deity murti, not a living person.
