The murti is a white horse-mounted figure with a crown and red-orange garment, framed by a large arch of garlands in pink, yellow, green and white, with a peacock-feather-shaped backdrop. A white banner in front reads Ananda Venkateshwara with Sreedevi and Boodevi, and a lotus chakra emblem appears at its right. Brass vessels and a small brass lamp sit on the floor, and draped white cloth and red-and-orange pennants fill the background. A striped canopy with tassels is at upper left.
