The deity figures wear gold crowns and ornate gold necklaces, garlanded with marigold and rose-pink flower garlands. In front of the altar, a shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange cloth sits cross-legged at the lower left, facing the shrine. A gold kalasha-like vessel, small lamps and flower offerings sit on the altar base. Pink and red cloth hangings frame the sides.
