A decorated deity murti or yantra-like form rests on a carved golden wooden throne or peetha, draped in a red and green silk sari with gold zari borders. It wears layered white pearl necklaces, a crown-like headpiece set with red and green stones, and round ornamental discs with green and red gem accents. Fresh green leaves and a blurred purple cloth appear at the edges, and the scene suggests a Shodashi homa celebration, but no people are visible.
