A temple shrine arrangement with no living people, showing a row of painted and gilded deity murtis on a raised stone platform. Three standing figures stand behind: the central one is a multi-armed deity in a green skirt with a pink-and-gold garland, flanked by a figure in pink and gold dhoti-style dress and a figure in pink sari with a tall black-and-gold hair ornament. Before them a cobra-hood canopy frames a silver-covered Shiva lingam with a white jasmine garland and red flowers, draped on an orange cloth with blue patterns. In front, two smaller murtis stand: a male figure in red with a turban and jasmine garland holding a hand raised, and a female figure in pink with a long braid and jasmine garland. A brass kalasha or pot wrapped in red cloth with a jasmine garland sits on a base, with green bananas, a flower and scattered petals on the floor.
