A worship arrangement photographed close up. Three gold-finished murti figures stand on square pedestals: a smaller child-like figure on the left and a central figure with four arms, holding a trident, wearing silver ornaments, a black crown with stones, and a purple-and-leopard-print cloth. A seated female figure on the right wears a purple satin garment, a black headdress with gold chains, and a long gold necklace. Yellow flower petals are laid in a line before them on a white cloth with orange dots. In the foreground, a steel tray holds yellow flowers, two dark sandals and a small bronze figure. Behind the murtis is a large framed picture showing a partly visible figure in orange-red cloth and gold jewellery, and blue lettering reading 'KA' and 'Gr' appears at the edge. No physical people are visible.

The central figure has four arms, a tall dark topknot crowned with silver ornaments and a trident-like implement in one hand. The figure to the left wears a silver crown and purple cloth with a sacred thread; the figure on the right wears a purple sari-style garment with a jeweled head ornament and a long necklace. Yellow flower buds are arranged in front of the figures, and a steel tray in the foreground holds more yellow buds, a small brown seated figure of a sage, and a white camphor-like offering.

The central figure stands tall in an orange-and-gold garment with a rudraksha-style mala and a gold crown. Flanking figures include a smaller standing figure in orange robes and a larger figure in a red-orange embroidered skirt with gold trim. A small seated figure with a marigold sits in front.

A brass oil lamp with a lit flame sits in the foreground, and a steel vessel with yellow liquid is at the lower right. Behind them, a framed printed portrait of a smiling man in a dark turban and red-orange robe, garlanded with white and red flower garlands and holding a trident-like staff, rests above a red draped seat. To the left stands an ornate gold-framed mirror-like panel decorated with dark beaded strands. No physical people are visible.

The central figure wears an orange dhoti, a gold waist ornament, a shawl-like orange drape, and a tall decorated crown with stones.
