Three deity murtis are seated together on a decorated golden throne framed by an ornate gilt arch with an orange drape behind. The central figure wears a tall ornate crown, layered jewelled necklaces, and an orange-and-gold garment, with a bejewelled sceptre in one hand. Two smaller figures flank it: one in a maroon turban and necklaces, and another in a jewelled headdress and orange-and-gold dress. Garlands of yellow and white flowers drape the seats and the throne's serpent-like backrests, which are studded with circular decorations. The murtis are carved and ornamented, and the image appears to show a pattabhishekam-style coronation display.
