The central figure wears an ornate crown and jewelled necklaces, with a white and red garland and a golden halo behind the head.

A blue plaque with Kannada and English lettering sits on the altar front, and a gold ceremonial fan stands at the left edge beside a red curtain. The altar is decorated with green and gold cloth and flower garlands.
