Two large painted deity figures sit on an orange-draped pedestal: the figure on the left holds a trident-like staff and wears a red-and-gold crown, the figure on the right wears a crown and red garment with white trim. Between them stands a brass kalasha pot decorated with red and white flower garlands and a rudraksha-style mala. Below sits a smaller red-clad figure with a necklace, and a standing figure in red and orange robes with a garland stands at the right beside tall brass oil lamps. Brass lamps and vessels fill the foreground. No living people are visible.
