Central deity murti figures are draped in garlands of marigolds and green leaves, with a tall silver-toned kalasha-like element and a dark bulbous stone form at the base. Two standing female figures in red and white clothing flank the central image, and a small figure in a green-and-gold niche sits to the right. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and brass plates with offerings sit on the floor in front. No living people are visible.
