Two gilded metal murti statues of a deity couple, the Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari processional deities, stand side by side, heavily adorned with white, yellow and magenta garlands of flowers. The male figure wears a golden turban-style headdress, a red bindi, a gold-and-white embellished chest ornament and dangling earrings; his raised hand shows an abhaya-style gesture. The female figure wears a silver-toned crown, a white pearl-style necklace and a pink lotus flower held in her hand. Behind them a golden temple pillar is visible. No living people are shown.
