The main figures wear red and gold crowns, gold jewellery and garlands, and the shrine is wrapped in flower garlands in red, yellow, purple, green and white. Pink and white cloth drapes behind them, with a banana leaf at the right edge. A small white and red figure sits in front, and a tall brass oil lamp stands on each side. Red flowers and a white floral arch frame the lower altar, and grey stone pillars surround the shrine.
