The central murti wears red and gold ornamental dress, a crown-like headpiece, layered necklaces and garlands of white flowers.

A purple draped canopy with gold carved arches frames the scene, with palm fronds and greenery behind, and a purple cloth covers the base. No physical people are visible.
