A temple scene of deity murti decorated with gold and gem-studded arches. Two golden deity figures sit on a throne-like altar with a lion-faced base, one holding a trident and the other wearing a tall crown and red and green garment, both adorned with flower garlands in yellow, red and orange. In the foreground at left, a bare-chested devotee with a shaved head and orange-saffron cloth wrapped at the waist stands with palms pressed together in prayer, and a second figure in orange and red headwear stands behind him. Orange-saffron and red garments and marigold garlands dominate the frame, with a golden tiered altar of flowers at the base. Ornate ceremonial setting typical of a brahmotsavam festival day.
