Two small seated deity murti of Shiva and Parvati sit on a green silk cloth on a golden ratha or palanquin with a bronze arched backrest. Both are dressed in red and orange garments, adorned with jeweled crowns, necklaces and marigold garlands, and surrounded by marigold flowers. The figure at left holds a trident and other ritual objects; a brass oil lamp stands at the right foreground. Blurred onlookers stand in a temple courtyard in the background, one in white and another in a salwar kameez.
