A lit five-flame brass oil lamp (aarti lamp) stands centre, with a brass kalasha-style vessel, brass bell, incense sticks, bananas, steel bowls of cooked rice, lentil dish, leafy greens and flatbread, and plates of rose petals and white flowers.

Behind, a row of orange-robed figures sits on black pedestals, adorned with garlands, depicting deity murti at a ritual setting. No visible physical people apart from the partially shown arm.
