A decorated deity murti of a golden Shiva lingam with a silver-toned hooded serpent canopy above it, five green-stone finials on top, and a diamond-studded band around the shaft. Garlands of white jasmine, yellow and orange marigolds, and red roses drape the lingam and the base. Behind it hang gold and yellow silk cloths and an ornate gold peetha. In front, a white marble statue of Shirdi Sai Baba wears a green robe with a gold border, a red-and-gold headcloth, a red bindi, and a rudraksha-style mala, raising one hand in blessing. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues and decorations.
