A man in a rust-brown dhoti with gold borders stands at left, smiling and raising one hand in greeting, wearing a gold pendant necklace, a long garland of yellow and white flowers, and gold bangles. Behind him are golden standing figures and hanging tassels in red, orange, green and pink. At right, a richly decorated deity murti sits on a green silk-draped seat, adorned with a large white flower arch, jewelled silver ornaments and a raised trident-like weapon, with orange-red garments. Two smaller decorated female figures in green and blue sari-style dresses with garlands flank the central deity on their own seats. The scene resembles a festival alankaram display of goddess figures.
