The murti wears a black velvet headdress studded with rhinestones, rhinestone and pink-stone necklaces, gold chains, and a blue satin dhoti. Behind it, a second murti stands on a tiered gold pedestal against a bright yellow wall and a blue cloth. A framed portrait of a bearded man in orange-and-gold clothing with gold jewellery is partly visible at upper right, but no name is readable.
