The elephant-headed deity wears a golden crown with a red tilak, has a gold necklace, and is draped in marigold garlands, pink flowers and a yellow cloth, with a multicoloured striped halo behind his head. He holds a modak sweet in one hand and a red-tipped object in another, and an om symbol is painted on his palm. The mouse is grey with gold trappings and marigolds at its base. Lit oil lamps flank the murti, which stands on a green-painted platform strewn with flowers, leaves and fruit, against a backdrop of metallic green and red sheeting hung with ribbons.
