A shaved-headed priest bare-chested with a white dhoti wrap stands at left, holding a lit oil lamp aloft toward a shrine. Behind him stands a black stone deity murti with a tall crown, garlanded with orange and white flowers, and a second pair of figures in a red and green dress on a red-draped throne. A smaller brass figure sits in front, decorated with garlands, bead necklaces and a red cloth, and a brass kalasha stands at the base. Tall decorative pillars in red, teal and gold frame the scene against a deep red curtain, with a small framed portrait hung above.
