Gaur, known as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, is belived by his followers to be an incarnation of God Krishna. Nitai is believed to be an avtar of Balarama and therefore, the brother and friend Krishna.
They are depicted here as temple icons standing on lotous with hands raised, chanting a devotional song or performing Bhakti Yoga.
