The central deity murti wears a tall gold crown set with red stones, a golden tunic with an ornate jewelled necklace and layered garlands, and holds a trident-like staff in the upper left hand while the right hand is raised in blessing. Flanking figures wear embellished crowns, pearl and bead necklaces, and red, orange and maroon garments, with one holding a sceptre. The scene is a deity murti arrangement adorned for worship, with the statues rather than living people as the focus.
