A richly decorated deity murti is the central subject, adorned with heavy gold necklaces, layered yellow and white garlands, and pink flower accents. Flanking figures are smaller decorated statues wearing gold and jewelled ornaments. Above hang a golden arched frame with white beaded wiring and tassels in orange, red, pink, purple and turquoise. A brass oil lamp and a metal vessel appear at the right edge, and a hand holds a lamp at the lower right. No living people are clearly visible, and the scene is dark except for the lit altar.
