The ceremony or Kalyanasundaramurti is witnessed by Vishnu and Lakshmi. They stand at the left, Vishnu holding together with the normal attributes, a golden pot, from which he pours at the moment of uniting the couple. Shiva and Parvati, wearing jatamakutas or high crowns and royal ornaments, offer their hands with palms open. Shiva bears his attributes of a mriga(deer) and parashu (battle-axe) and in his addition holds a flower or spray of flowers in his lower left hand.
