A golden deity murti of Devi Meenakshi, adorned with a green and orange turban, white and red garlands, gold jewellery and a pink silk skirt with blue border, is centred on a gilded arched backdrop with magenta cloth. Two priests stand on either side with palms pressed together in prayer. The left priest is bare-chested with a sacred thread and orange-red waist cloth; the right priest wears a white dhoti with gold border. White and orange roses sit in front, with a small brass figure at the base.
