Three life-sized painted statues stand before a green draped backdrop with a gold arched frame in a temple-style hall. The central deity murti has a tall black crown with pink and white jewelled ornaments, a tilak on its forehead, a tiger-skin cloth, gold and jewelled necklaces, and raises two hands holding a trident and an upright staff. To the left stands a figure in a brown-orange turban with a crescent mark, wearing layered gold and white jewelled necklaces and a saffron-orange shawl. To the right stands a figure in a green and teal crown with a tilak, a purple and gold jewelled blouse and a green-bordered sari, holding a flower. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge beside painted temple columns in red and blue.
