The murti and its attendant figures are adorned with thick garlands of red, orange, yellow, purple and white flowers, and a golden arch with a crown-like top frames them. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides, with brass and silver vessels and a kumkum-marked plate on the altar ledge. Stone pillars and a glass-walled pavilion surround the scene, with trees visible outside.
