A gilded statue of a deity stands before a large golden seven-headed cobra hood, with a second cobra canopy behind it. The central figure wears a gold necklace and garland and has a red flower at its base. Two smaller gilded figures flank it, wearing maroon and gold draped cloth, strands of gold coins and white beaded necklaces. On the right wall, a framed panel reads Bhasmaabhishekam for Sreyambhu Lingam, and a framed photograph of a crowd is visible at the upper left. The statues are arranged on a plinth in a temple-like setting.
