A golden statue seated on a lotus-shaped pedestal in front of a deep red cushioned backdrop framed by an ornate gold arch. The murti wears a maroon and white cloth with a red-and-gold border, a maroon head covering with pearl-like ornaments, and a long garland of yellow marigolds and red flowers over the shoulders, with a brown rudraksha-style mala. One hand is raised in abhaya mudra. In front are a brass tray with yellow marigolds and bananas, a brass lamp, a small kalasha-style vessel and a small offering dish. To the right stands a placard showing a smiling saffron-turbaned figure in a portrait and a temple image, with a printed caption. A brass trident stands on the left.
