The murti shows a goddess in a magenta and gold sari with a crown, garlanded with red and yellow flowers, beside a seated figure draped with a white dhoti-like cloth and garlands. Tall ornate brass lamp stands and a golden arched canopy frame the shrine, and a small figure is visible at the right edge. The scene appears to be a puja or aarti offering.2010-07-21A photograph of a decorated shrine canopy with a standing woman in a deep orange-red sari and a rudraksha mala, raising one hand in greeting beside a large central deity murti garlanded with yellow and red marigolds. Behind them, two larger murtis in ornate crowns and garlands stand under a red canopy, with a brass kalasha, a silver puja vessel, a brass oil lamp and a plate of offerings on the floor.
