A richly adorned deity murti, shown as a figure seated in a gold-framed arched shrine, is the central subject. The murti wears an elaborate crown of yellow and red flower garlands with jewelled ornaments, heavy silver-and-gem necklaces, and a rudraksha mala, with a reddish-brown dhoti-like garment and a golden cloth beneath. Long garlands of red roses, marigolds, and green leaves drape around the shrine, and a brass bell hangs near the feet. The setting is a decorated ceremonial stage under draped fabric, consistent with a puja or darshan display. No physical people are visible.
