The central figure, a blue-skinned deity murti, wears a gold crown, a multi-strand necklace, and an orange-saffron dhoti under a cream shawl, holding a bow and arrow with a garland of marigolds. To his left stands a fair-skinned male murti in a gold crown, red shawl, and golden dhoti, also holding a bow and garlanded in marigolds. To the right stands a female murti in a gold crown and a red and gold sari with a marigold garland. Orange curtains frame the shrine, and a small child's head is visible at the lower left edge.
