Golden murti of a seated deity pair on a red satin draped throne within a gilded arched niche. The male figure wears a red and gold turban, a jewelled crown-like headdress, multiple ornate necklaces with a red gem, and holds ceremonial items in raised hands. The female figure beside him wears a gold crown, layered jewelled necklaces and bangles. Garlands of yellow, orange, purple and red flowers hang from the figures. A golden yoni-shaped pedestal or shivalinga base sits in front. Lit oil lamps flank the arch on gold stands, with red curtains behind. This is a statue, not a living person.
