A gilded shrine tableau of deity murtis within a golden arch backed by a red curtain. Two large statues sit at centre: a male figure with matted hair, a saffron-and-orange dhoti, a trident and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, flanked by a female figure in a blue sari with gold ornaments and a crown. Flower garlands of yellow marigolds and red blooms hang on the figures. Two standing attendant statues stand on either side, one in a red-and-white cloth with a turban and the other with long hair and a bare chest. In the foreground a small seated figure and a large kalasha-like ornamental pedestal sit before the group, with oil lamps on tall brass stands. Statues and printed visuals only; no physical people are present.
