A decorated Ganesha murti stands in a floral shrine on a raised flatbed platform under a open-sided shed roof. The deity has a golden crown, tusk and ornate silver necklaces, and is garlanded with white jasmine and yellow and red marigold strings. A colourful arched frame of pink, white, red, yellow and green fabric and flower garlands surrounds the murti, with a multicolour canopy above. Orange drapery forms the backdrop, and a white cloth with a striped border covers the platform. Brass lamps sit in front, with a tangle of cable beside them. No people are clearly visible in the central scene; a few partially visible figures stand at the right edge.
