A decorated deity murti of Maha Saraswathi sits centrally on a green silk-draped seat, holding a veena, with white and yellow garlands forming an arch around her. Two smaller murtis of female deities flank her in red and blue silk dresses with garlands and a small pink flower. A shaven-headed figure in saffron robes sits in the lower-left foreground facing the shrine, with a yellow-gold deity figure at the far left. Hanging tassels in pink, yellow and teal decorate the back, with dark maroon drapery behind and a cooling fan at right. The scene suggests a Navaratri puja at a shrine.
