Garlands of yellow and red flowers hang across the figure, and red silk drapes behind. In front sits a white marble statue with a blue-green shawl, garlanded with white flowers, its right hand raised in blessing and a cloth covering its head. Tall gilded brass oil lamps flank the altar on both sides in a dim temple interior. No living people are visible.
