Indoor temple altar set up for a puja with a large gold-framed shrine at the back holding a deity murti dressed in gold ornaments and garlanded with pink and white flowers, flanked by two smaller figures and a red and gold backdrop. In the foreground at left, a life-size figure seated on a gold throne wears an orange-red turban, a rudraksha mala of red beads, and a garland of pink and white flowers; this figure is a statue or portrait, not a physical person. Brass and copper vessels, a coconut, bananas, a lit oil lamp, yellow and red offerings, and a cake-like white structure stand on the floor cloth, with a box of matches and incense sticks near the front. No physical people are visible.

Central deity murti of Devi Meenakshi, dark-faced with a gold crown, adorned with white and red flower garlands and gold jewellery, stands in a gold arched niche with an orange drape and yellow cloth below. To the left, a seated white statue of a shaved-headed figure with a pink turban and a flower garland sits in a wooden chair, a statue rather than a physical person. To the right, a seated figure in gold crown and red-and-gold robes with garlands is also a statue. Foreground offerings include a kalasha-style pot, fruit, flowers, and oil lamps on yellow cloth, with a decorated pillar at the upper left.

To the right sits a seated figure in saffron clothing and a saffron turban wrapped with a gold ornament, with a yellow marigold garland and a gold necklace; this is a statue, not a living person. On the floor before the altar are rows of small brass and earthen bowls filled with coloured offerings, yellow and white flower heaps in brass plates, a steel vessel with banana leaf covering, and white cloth bundles. No people are visible.
