This is a print showing Hara-Hari - the half Shiva and half Vishnu form. On the right side, Vishnu has a darker skin colour and holds the wheel and conch, while on the left, Shiva with a lighter skintone holds a damaru and his drinking horn. His trident is present behind his shoulder and there are three snakes coiling around his neck and hair. The lower garment on both the deities is also clearly demarcated - the side for Shiva being that of tiger skin. Each of their mounts (Nandi and Garuda) are depicted much smaller in size below the seat.
