At the centre, a dark green backdrop displays a deity murti adorned with a flower garland, flanked by brass lamps. A standing figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala stands on a raised platform near the murti, with a person in white pressing hands together beside a seated group in white clothes. Devotees in white dresses and white shirts sit cross-legged on the platform and the floor, while others in white and some in colourful saris fill the foreground. A black-and-white framed photograph hangs on the left wall.
