A golden deity murti group on a raised white-draped platform under an ornate gold arch with an orange satin backdrop. Two figures sit on a throne-like seat: the left figure wears a red turban, a teal-blue tunic with jewelled necklaces, blue trousers, and holds a sword; the right figure wears a green and orange sari, a tall black hair crown and red floral garland, and holds a staff. Between them rests a hooded naga-shaped canopy above a seated figure in a green-and-gold cloth covered in red and yellow garlands. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides and front, and gold-tone decorations frame the scene. No living people are visible.
