The murti wears a tall crown, layered jewelled necklaces and is draped in heavy garlands of yellow marigolds with red and white flowers. On the left, a person with shoulder-length curly dark hair and glasses, wearing a bright orange-gold silk garment and a flower garland, stands in profile facing the murti. A small screen or monitor is mounted to the right of the shrine, and a red cloth covers the base. Colourful fabric hangings with fringe edges hang at the top of the frame.
