Ornate ceremonial display of a deity murti seated on a golden throne-niche backed by a dark curtain. The upper figure wears an orange-brown cloth, a tall crowned headdress and a white and gold necklace, with hands held at the chest. Below, a garlanded figure rests on the central seat, decorated with floral garlands in red, yellow, white and green and a silver-and-gold ornament, with a kalasha-like vessel on its head. Two tall brass oil lamps with lit flames stand on either side. Green foliage is at the lower edge. No physical people are visible; the display is a murti set-up.
