A woman in an orange-red shawl and matching saffron-red garment stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste, facing three seated golden murti statues on a decorated dais. The central statue wears an ornate gold crown, layered jewelled necklaces and a gold-and-white dhoti, and holds a raised hand. The statue to its left wears a red turban and red robe, and the statue to its right wears a golden crown and gold-embroidered red garments. Yellow and white parasols with tassels frame the scene, a white-draped table and a small red cushion sit in front, and a white elephant figure appears at lower right. Deity murti worship with padapuja-style devotion is depicted.
