A decorated metal deity murti stands centrally with two smaller attendant figures on either side, all framed by thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red and purple flowers, and green leaves. The central figure wears a tall jewelled crown, a heavy silver necklace with green stones, and holds a ceremonial implement. The two side figures wear jewelled necklaces and blue and green silk garments. Behind them hang blue draped curtains with sparkling dots and an ornate gold arch. Pink satin drapes the base. No people are visible; this is a festival-style temple alankaram display.
