On the left, a row of gold-painted deity murtis and decorated palanquin-style figures stand on white stone platforms, including an elephant-headed deity with a golden crown.

On the right, several people in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis stand facing the murtis with folded hands; one woman in an orange sari wears a rudraksha mala and holds a small lamp, and a young girl in a blue dress stands nearby. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
