A temple worship scene before a gilded arch framed by a turquoise backdrop. Two large seated deity murtis dominate: the figure on the left has an orange turban, four arms holding a staff-like object, and a white and gold necklace; the figure on the right wears a gold crown, layered pearl and gold necklaces and a dark blue garment. Both are garlanded with red and white flower strands. In front of them a kneeling figure in white garments with a red headcloth and beaded necklace bows, and a silver and gold ritual vessel stands on the platform. A standing statue of a woman in red robes with folded hands stands at right beside an oil lamp stand, and red fabric is draped at left. Pillars and carved stone surround the shrine.
