Two large painted metal statues of a deity couple sit on a decorated throne-like seat under a gilded arch, framed by thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red and purple flowers and white blooms. The male figure wears a red-orange dhoti and a red turban with a jewelled crest, holds a golden trident and a rudraksha mala, and has a gold pendant necklace. The female figure beside him wears a matching orange-red sari with silver jewellery, a jewelled crown and a small green parrot-like object in her raised hand. Both statues have gold-toned faces with red lips and bold eyebrows. No living people appear in the scene; the figures are deity murti depictions.
