Festive display of deity murtis in a gilded arched shrine framed by deep red drapes and a blue-and-maroon canopy. A dark-faced central standing murti wears a tall crown, white and silver necklaces, and garlands of red, pink and white flowers, holding a raised staff-like object. Two seated gold-toned murtis in green and red garments with flower garlands sit before it, one holding a small ritual item. Pink hibiscus, yellow and orange marigolds and blossoms are arranged on the altar in front. A sliver of a human hand appears at the lower left edge. No physical people are the main subject; the scene is a worship arrangement at a temple during Navaratri.
