A decorated shrine dominated by a large deity murti with a golden multi-hooded serpent canopy overhead, wearing an orange-and-maroon turban, green gemstone and gold ornaments, and a jewelled chest garland. Below, a white statue in a blue robe with a gold pendant rests in a seated pose with one hand raised. Yellow and magenta flower garlands drape the figures, with brass vessels and a lamp in the foreground on a white cloth and pink silk backdrop. The statues are not physical people, and the scene contains no visible living people.
