Two ornately decorated golden metal murti of deities stand before a deep red curtain inside a temple, framed by a carved gold arch. The figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, a red and white embellished garment, and holds a golden trident, its body draped with heavy jeweled necklaces and beaded ornaments. The figure on the right wears a tall jeweled crown, a gold-and-red patterned garment and layered necklaces, and raises one hand in a gesture; a garland of yellow and purple flowers hangs over the arm. Oil lamps and flower garlands surround them. No living people are visible.
