A large yellow-faced deity murti of a multi-armed goddess dominates the frame, decorated with gold-embossed ornaments, yellow garlands and a red skirt, holding weapons in many hands. In front of her, a man in a red-brown dhoti and bare chest stands before a small altar, holding a silver vessel and bending forward in ritual worship. Two other deity figures flank the central image, and a green-faced figure appears at the lower right among flowers. Hanging tassels and pink draping fill the background.
