Peacock feathers stand in vases on either side, red roses are placed on top of the frame, and a small portrait of a woman in pink sits at the lower left. The table holds brass oil lamps, a lit diya, bowls of flower petals and kumkum, a brass kalasha-like vessel, and a deity murti dressed in a green and red silk garment with red and white flower garlands.
