A seated golden statue, a murti of a guru figure in a meditative mudra with hands raised in blessing, is the central subject of a shrine. The figure wears a pink garland of flowers and a white-and-pink floral garland, and a black stone lingam-like top is decorated with yellow and red flowers and a vertical tilak-like mark. A brass trident stands on the right against a gold-framed arch with maroon drapery behind. In front, a white-draped table holds a brass bell, a bowl of pale ritual items, small brass lamps with lit oil lamps, flower arrangements on orange and maroon cloths, and a conch. Oil lamps flank the statue on a red platform. No physical people are visible.
