Two golden metal murti statues sit side by side on a striped pink, green and blue cloth outdoors, with rocky ground and grass behind them. The figure on the left wears an orange dhoti, a tall crown, a gold necklace and a white and red flower garland, holds a staff-like object in one hand and raises the other in a blessing gesture. The figure on the right wears a green skirt, a red shawl, a crown, layered jewellery and a similar garland, with one hand raised. A small metal vessel with flowers sits in front of them, and a carved wooden stand with a lion sculpture stands at right. The scene appears to be a shrine setting with deity murtis, not living people.
