A decorated deity murti in a temple shrine, shown as a seated Shiva-Parvati pair in a golden arched frame before a green cloth backdrop. The male figure wears an orange turban-like crown, a white and silver necklace and a red-and-white lower garment; the female figure wears a black crown and layered silver necklaces. Both are garlanded in yellow and red flower garlands. Two standing attendant statues flank them, one in red-and-brown dress with a red cap and garland, the other in a striped skirt and beaded garland. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides, and a blue-and-silver ritual vessel with garlands sits on a purple cloth in front. Statues only; no physical people visible.
