Two gilded deity murtis of a male and female divine pair are seated side by side within an ornate golden arch against a dark blue drape. The male figure wears an orange turban and white dhoti with a silver-jewelled crown, holding a ceremonial staff, while the female figure wears an orange-and-gold sari with a tall jewelled crown and heavy necklaces. Both are adorned with layered necklaces, bangles and earrings. Brass oil lamps flank the arch, and a decorated kalasha or offering tray with a white floral garland sits in front. The murtis are statues, not people.
