A golden deity murti of a fierce goddess stands in a gilded shrine, adorned with a tall golden crown, red and gold garments, layered gold and jewelled necklaces, flower garlands, and a trident in hand; a lit oil lamp sits at lower right beside a flower-decked offering. A bare-chested priest with white sacred markings on his body and an orange-draped shoulder cloth faces the deity from the left, in worship. Pink and white garlands frame the shrine and a lit oil lamp burns on the right, with the caption naming Pidari Amman, Kali, Kalabhairava and Muneswara deeparadhana.
