Three people stand before a gold-framed altar in a red-draped hall, with two large deity murtis to the right adorned with yellow and red garlands. On the left, a man in white dhoti with gold border and a saffron-orange shawl wears white and orange flower garlands and a rudraksha-style mala. In the centre, a man wearing an orange-brown turban and saffron robe with garlands raises his right hand in blessing. A woman in a green sari with red border and white jasmine garland stands beside him with hands folded. A brass vessel sits at the base of the altar. The central figure has no distinctive long hair, crown or ornate ceremonial cues sufficient to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain.
