A home shrine photographed at night. In the background, a printed portrait of a bearded man wearing an orange-red turban, a red shawl, and layered gold and beaded necklaces sits on a blue cloth with a red cushion; the portrait is a depiction on paper, not a physical person. In the foreground, polished brass figures of deities stand on a brass tray with a lit oil lamp and scattered pink flower petals. A small brass figure on the left has raised hands, and a taller brass figure on the right wears a crown and holds a raised hand. The scene shows an abhishekam setting in a home temple with an oil lamp.

The central four-armed deity murti holds a trident-like weapon and a ritual object, with a red tilak on its forehead. To its left stands a smaller male murti with a raised hand, and to its right a female murti in a red and gold embroidered sari with a red kumkum mark.
