A decorated deity murti pair seated within a gilded arch with a deep red velvet backdrop. The figure on the left wears an orange turban with a jeweled crown ornament, large earrings, layered silver-and-jewel necklaces, and a red and white garment with a patterned sash; he holds a trident and a small vessel. The figure on the right wears a tall jeweled crown, gold and red ornaments, and holds a lotus-like object. Garlands of yellow, pink and purple flowers drape both figures and a silver kalasha-style vessel with green foliage sits in front. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge. These are statues, not living people, so no physical people are present.
