Two deity murti figures, a male and a female, are seated side by side on a raised platform under a covered pavilion, draped in orange and yellow silk garments with silver jewellery and crowns. The male figure holds a trident-like staff and a mace-like rod, while the female figure holds a staff in one hand. Both are decorated with thick garlands of yellow, red, purple and green flowers and leaves draped over an arched frame. A white-covered table sits in front, with a garlanded seat and a smaller garlanded pillar to the right, and palm trees are visible outside. No living people are visible.
