A golden murti of a seated deity with a trident and crown, wearing a blue skirt-like garment, jewelled necklaces and a silver waist ornament, is decorated with garlands of orange, red and white flowers. Before the murti stands a large gold abhishekam vessel on a pedestal while a person's hand, wearing a bangle, pours or offers from a small bowl. Foreground includes silver trays of colourful offerings, a pink cloth-covered table with rows of small brass lamps, a bowl of flower petals, and brass bells. The people visible are only partly shown, with just one arm and hand in view.
