A decorated deity murti or ornate peetha is the central subject, covered in dense garlands of white jasmine and orange marigold with red and pink flowers. Brass oil lamps with hanging garlands stand on either side on a turquoise draped table. Behind, a partly visible priest in white dhoti with red-bordered cloth stands near the arrangement, his bare upper body and cloth visible at the left edge. The foreground shows a wooden stand and a red and purple silk drape.
