Central focus is a golden palanquin carrying a deity murti adorned with a white and purple flower garland, its gold canopy decorated with floral motifs.

A small attendant in white holds a yellow-and-red embroidered banner on a pole at left, while a colourful fringed umbrella with a bird emblem shelters the palanquin above.
