Three standing deity murtis stand at the top, each draped in yellow marigold garlands and ornate jewelled necklaces, with the central figure wearing an orange headdress and raised hands. Below, a golden hooded cobra canopy (naga) sits over a Shivalinga-style form dressed with white flower garlands and a red flower. Smaller murtis in yellow marigold garlands kneel at the base, one in red and one in green, on a green and gold cloth draped over a teal and orange altar. The scene is a sacred statue arrangement; no living people are visible.
