Two bronze-coloured deity murtis sit against a red shimmering curtain framed by a gilded arch. The central figure wears a red and orange turban with a jewelled ornament, a peacock-feather and small adornment at the crown, a tilaka, and a heavy white beaded and gem-studded necklace over a dark garment; it holds a mace-like staff and a bird-topped sceptre. The figure beside it wears a black hair bun with a crown ornament, a silver-grey and green sari with a gold-bordered pallu, gold necklaces and flower garlands. Red, yellow and white flower garlands drape both figures. Brass lamps are visible at the bottom edge. These are statues, not living people.
