Three large decorated clay deity murtis stand on a raised blue-draped platform under a pink canopy. The central multi-armed goddess, wearing a red sari and a golden crown, holds a trident and other weapons while standing on a roaring lion, with a blue demon figure beneath her. Flanking her are two goddesses in gold-and-pink embroidered garments with long black hair, one holding a veena. Halo-like golden arches studded with small painted faces frame each figure. Small oil lamps, a white swan, and marigold offerings sit at the base. No people are visible.
