A shrine canopy decorated with red drapes and layered marigold, yellow and purple garlands. Centrally seated is a white-marble figure in red robes and a red turban with rudraksha-style beads and garlands, its hands raised in blessing, placed before a larger elaborate murti with a crown and ornate red garments. Brass oil lamps, a tall brass lamp stand, and bowls of flowers and fruit sit on the floor, and a white-draped table stands to the left. No people are visible; the figures are statues and the scene reflects a puja or birthday honouring setup.
