A seated man in a golden-backed throne with a red cushion sits in front of a shrine with gilded arch and red curtain. He wears a reddish-brown robe, layered gold and beaded necklaces, floral garlands in orange, white and purple, and a red tilak on his forehead. His right hand is raised in blessing while he speaks into a microphone. Behind him stand three large metal deity murtis: a multi-armed central figure with a crown, a standing figure in green and a bearded sage figure in maroon, each garlanded. Brass oil lamps with lit flames flank the throne, and small coloured lights hang above.
