Three deity murtis or figures are seated on pink and purple draped seats, decorated with garlands of orange, yellow and red flowers. A shirtless man in a rust-orange dhoti stands with his back to the camera before the central seat. A man with a white head covering and a white dhoti stands beside him with hands folded. A seated man in orange robes and rudraksha beads tends brass pots and offerings in front of a small flame on the lower platform, with trays of fruit and sweets. On the right, a woman in a rust-coloured sari sits on the steps beside a monitor, and several people in white and dark clothing sit in the foreground watching.
