A temple shrine decorated with dense garlands of yellow, orange, red and white flowers around golden deity murtis. A central golden murti is adorned with a jewelled crown and necklaces, and a figure in a deep red-brown robe and maroon turban stands at the shrine holding a lamp and a brass vessel near a tall lit lamp. Two smaller golden murtis flank the central one, one in a red and gold sari-like garment. Ornate brass lamps with flower garlands stand at the sides. Several people in orange and saffron clothing are visible at the left edge, and in the foreground a child in orange and photographers with cameras face the shrine.

Large garlands of red, pink, yellow, white and green flowers drape the central figures and the arch. A woman in a maroon sari with a gold border holds a lit lamp toward the central murti, adorned with heavy gold jewellery and a crown-like headdress. Beside her, a man in a red-orange turban and matching cloth stands with hands together. On the left edge, a shaved-headed man in orange clothing with a rudraksha-style necklace also stands near the lamp.
