The figure on the left wears a green and red turban with a red-and-gold sash, a red velvet-looking garment with layered pearl necklaces, and a red tilak on the forehead. The figure on the right wears a pink silk sari with gold border, a jeweled crown, multiple gold and pearl necklaces and large earrings. Both have polished golden faces with red lips. Their hands are raised in blessing and holding objects. Behind them are garlands of marigolds and roses, and a blue draped cloth. The setting appears to be a temple sanctum during a puja.
