A gilded deity murti of a multi-armed form stands in a silver-framed shrine draped with orange cloth, wearing layered jeweled necklaces with red and blue stones and a blue silk lower garment. Seated in front is a gold-painted statue of a seated figure in an orange turban and orange robe, with a red tilak on the forehead, one hand raised in blessing and a jeweled garland. The scene shows a festival decoration for the Dhwajarohanam ritual, not live people.
