A shrine scene showing a set of decorated deity murtis, not living people. Centre, a large Shiva-form murti with a crown and a raised hand sits on a throne-like seat under a golden arch, with a second figure beside it in a blue and purple garment. Garlands of yellow, white, red and green flowers frame the arch and figures. In front, a small crowned murti sits in a golden palanquin-style seat flanked by carved lion-like figures, and an offering stands on a golden platform. To the left, a figure in a purple turban and purple sari with heavy necklaces stands by a brass lamp stand, and to the right a figure in a maroon garment with a garland holds a brass lamp. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and yellow drapery hangs above.
