Behind him, a large deity murti group sits on a green draped platform beneath a gold arched frame, the central figure wearing a gold crown and jewelled necklace, flanked by two smaller murtis, all heavily decorated with red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands. Fruits lie on a tray at the base, potted green plants and flowers frame the left, and a brass oil lamp burns at right beside a man in a purple cloth and orange shawl.

A green cloth covers the base, with fruit offered in front and a brass oil lamp lit at the right edge. Sagging rounded shapes in the scene are garlands, not people.
