Two golden metal deity murti are seated side by side on a decorated ratha/procession platform on a street. The left figure, a male deity, wears a white dhoti, a gold-bordered white shawl, gold necklaces and a white beaded garland, and holds one hand raised in a blessing gesture. The right figure, a female deity, wears a red sari with gold border, layered gold and white necklaces, earrings and a jewelled crown, and holds a hand raised with a lotus-like gesture. Both are draped with long garlands of yellow marigold, red roses and white jasmine. The green cloth-covered base is ornate. Behind them a red cloth backdrop, a street with parked motorcycles, shops, a cow and a few people appear in the background. This is a procession of the deities of Sri Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari.
