A golden statue of a deity murti stands on a raised platform, dressed in white and gold cloth with a gold crown, heavy jeweled necklaces and a rudraksha-style bead garland. Beside it sit a silver-toned kalasha-like vessel and a small wooden stand draped with a dark red cloth, with a green and maroon bead mala laid out. Silver pots line the lower left, and a window with a red curtain and carved stone pillars frames the background. The statue is a depiction, not a person, so no physical people are present.
