A decorated shrine with a figure seated on a gilded throne with an orange cloth backdrop, framed by arches of marigold, jasmine and multicoloured flower garlands. The seated figure wears a white and red embroidered garment with a crown-like headpiece and jewelled necklaces, and a smaller figure in similar adornment sits below on a silver pedestal draped in garlands. Tall brass oil lamps stand on either side. The figure appears to be a deity murti, not a living person, and no people are visible.
