The murti wears a pink and purple silk garment and holds a flower in one raised hand. In front, offerings are laid out: bananas, a coconut, a folded red-and-gold silk cloth, and a white flower. A hand at the bottom edge holds the offering plate. A purple cloth drapes over the murti's arm, and a maroon backdrop frames the shrine.
