A large black stone deity murti stands against a deep red curtain, draped in a shiny yellow silk cloth with red-and-gold borders, adorned with silver-and-red jewelled necklaces, a red-and-orange sash, and garlands of orange, red, and green flowers. Pink and white flowers rest on a pink satin-covered pedestal.

Golden baskets of bananas, oranges, and apples sit at the left, with silver puja vessels and steel plates of food in front.
