A temple scene dominated by a deity murti or image decorated with heavy jewelled gold necklaces on a maroon velvet cloth, with red and purple-and-yellow flower garlands draped over it and a gold crown-like headdress. In the lower left, a white marble statue of a seated figure with raised right palm, wearing a cream dhoti-style wrap, a turban with a red bindi, and a gold rudraksha-style mala; the statue is not a physical person. A brass bowl and a silver plate sit on the stone platform in front. Ornate gold-leaf carved pillars frame the background.

Behind it, a large figure wearing an orange turban, a jewelled crown-like band, gold necklaces and gold bangles sits on a gilded seat, partly hidden by the garlands. In front, a white marble seated figure in an orange robe and orange turban, with a rudraksha-style mala, raises one hand in blessing. A silver jewelled necklace hangs over the lower garlands.
