On the left, a seated figure in brown-and-saffron robes with a white flower garland sits on a gold throne with hands folded in greeting; a large painted deity image with a crescent crown and multiple arms stands behind, with a gold-leafed tree motif above. Center-right, an ornately decorated deity murti in orange and red clothing, adorned with white and multicolored flower garlands, sits beneath a richly embroidered canopy with pearl strands. A standing priest in orange dhoti and shawl at the right performs an offering with a lamp near the murti, and brass oil lamps and a trident stand nearby. Brighter studio lights illuminate the scene. The image is a photo of a seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so no identification is made.
