Two large gilded metal statues of a seated divine couple are decorated for a procession, on a wooden platform before a golden temple structure. The male figure wears a white dhoti, white turban-like headwear, layered gold and silver necklaces and a white-and-gold shawl; the female figure wears an orange-red silk sari with green border, a crown, and silver and gold jewellery. Both are draped with white jasmine garlands with pink and green accents. In front, a smaller bronze deity murti in an arched prabhavali sits among flowers, a kalasha-like vessel and mango leaves. Flower petals are scattered around the base, with yellow and red marigolds in the lower left.
