A golden seated deity murti with a white vertical tilak on the forehead, large ear ornaments and a gold necklace, hands held open palm-up, dominates the foreground. Behind it on a gold draped platform stand three colourful figures: a deity in a pink and red sari with jewelled necklaces on the left, a central figure in orange dress with a golden turban and multiple gold necklaces, and a figure in green and gold cloth beside a small kneeling figure. A dark wooden door and framed picture on a pale wall form the setting. No physical people are visible.
