A central figure dressed in saffron-orange robes sits on a raised seat decorated with red and white flower garlands, with a large garland draped across the front. Beside him stands a priest in white dhoti and a white upper cloth holding a brass tray or plate. Two tall brass lamps with lit flames flank the scene at left and right. A bronze-coloured deity murti stands in a small shrine niche at the right edge, and a smaller seated figure in orange sits at the lower left. Brass vessels and offerings are arranged on the floor in front of the raised seat.
