The central gilded murti stands with raised hands, wearing a green garment, jewelled necklaces and a crown, flanked by two smaller gilded figures wearing jewelled headdresses and garlands, all set within a large arched halo-like backdrop encrusted with red and white stones. Gold pillars frame the scene, with a red velvet altar cloth below and a golden base in front.
