Two gilded metal deity murtis are decorated for worship against a crimson draped backdrop with ornate gold-toned frame. The murti on the left wears a tall silver-and-gold crown, a heavy gold necklace and jewelled ornaments, with a garland of yellow flowers and red blossoms. The murti on the right wears a pink-and-gold headdress, a green-and-gold sari-style cloth, layered gold necklaces and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Tall brass oil lamps stand beside them, and a brass bird-topped staff rests in the centre, with a brass lamp in front. The scene suggests a temple-style abhishekam or puja setting.
