Three elaborately decorated goddess figures stand in arched halos: at centre a multi-armed Durga riding a lion and holding a trident, with a green demon figure at her feet; to the left a figure in pink and gold; to the right a figure in yellow with a veena on a tiger-striped seat. Silver thrones and offerings of flower garlands and oil lamps surround them. One person in the lower foreground, seen from behind with a bare back and orange cloth, sits facing the murtis. Hanging cloth and rafters frame the scene.
