Two golden elephant figures and tall brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a smaller seated golden figure in red and gold attire wearing a pink flower garland sits before it. Small brass bowls of kumkum, turmeric and white powder, along with a lit oil lamp and scattered petals, lie on a cloth in the foreground. No physical people are visible.
