The central figures wear blue and gold silk, gold crowns, jewelled necklaces and garlands of yellow and red flowers; a golden arch frames them. Flanking statues in garlands stand at each side, and brass oil lamps sit at the front. Garlands of orange and yellow flowers hang overhead. No physical person other than the priest is visible, and the figures are statues, so no a person candidate is present.2016-12-07December 14 20112011-12-14 +1 copiesA priest with bare upper body and white dhoti stands at left, holding a lit flame or lamp toward a shrine of decorated deity murti.

Two people stand before the shrine: a long-haired figure in white dhoti and shawl offering a flower garland or flowers to the deities, and a robed figure in orange saffron clothing holding a brass plate.
