Two large golden deity murtis are seated on a teal and green draped platform: the left figure holds a trident and wears a red and gold crown with a red garment, the right figure wears a tall gold crown and green garments. In front, a seated figure in a white silk garment with a purple and gold border and heavy silver necklaces is draped with yellow and magenta flower garlands and wears a red turban with gold trim. A brass lamp stands at the lower right. No people are clearly visible as living individuals in the foreground beyond the seated figure, which appears to be a statue or decorated murti.
