Three statues stand together on a blue-draped altar before a tiled wall, framed by garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and white jasmine. The central figure is a deity murti with a tall crown, elaborate jewelled necklaces and raised hands. To the left stands a statue of a sannyasi with a rust-coloured turban and rudraksha-style ornaments, and to the right a female deity murti in a purple and gold sari with a jewelled crown. Brass plates with flowers and offerings sit at the base, and a small brass lamp is set in front.
