Two golden deity murtis, a male figure and a female figure, sit side by side on a striped red-and-white stepped platform in an open-sided hall. The male murti wears an orange turban, a red-and-white garland, a rudraksha-style necklace and a green-and-yellow dhoti, and holds a ceremonial mace-like staff with a trident-like finial. The female murti wears a black crown, large earrings, layered jewelled necklaces and an orange-and-maroon sari. Potted green plants line the steps and brass vessels holding white and orange offerings sit in front.

Two gilded figures sit on a red and green-bordered draped base: a figure with a red-orange turban, orange shawl, multiple arms, a ceremonial staff, pearl necklaces and a garland of red flowers, and a figure in an orange brocade sari with a crown-like headpiece, pearl jewellery and a red flower garland. Two dark sculptures stand on either side in the background. These are statues, not living people.
