A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe sits at left on a stone platform, one arm raised with hand near the head, in front of an open stone pavilion with carved pillars. Behind a central golden peetha stands a large statue pair of deities: the figure at left holds a trident and wears a crown and a multi-hooded serpent canopy, while the figure at right wears a red garment and jewelled necklaces. Below them, a white-draped altar holds a small golden deity figure, brass oil lamps, a kalasha-like vessel, bowls and a conch-shaped vessel. Trees and a red cloth hanging appear at the edges. The figure at left is a devotee in ritual dress, and no person on the platform is identified.
