A brass trident (trishula) with a gold-coloured shaft stands upright on a red tiled floor in front of a large printed backdrop of a black-faced deity murti with silver ornaments and many arms, set within a golden circular halo. Pink and red flower petals and marigolds are scattered at the base, and a gold kalasha-like vessel with flowers sits before the backdrop. Two incense sticks burn in a dark stand at the trident's base. The scene looks like a puja or altar display, with no people visible.
