Two deity figures with crowns stand flanking a central form, decorated with long marigold-type garlands in purple and orange. Before the shrine, a seated figure in orange robes sits on a white-draped seat, flanked by brass vessels, a kalasha-like pot and offering plates. In the right foreground, a person with long dark hair wearing an orange wrap stands with their back to the camera, facing the shrine, apparently in worship. Pink and orange drapes hang at the sides of the shrine.
