A decorated deity murti stands at the centre of a shrine, with a gold multi-headed serpent hood above it. The murti wears a deep blue velvet garment, a large gold-and-stone necklace with red, green and black gems, and a gold kalasha-style coin garland. It is framed by red roses, yellow and white flower garlands, and a purple flower crown. Flanking figures in green and gold silk with jewelled necklaces and crowns stand on either side. A small gold figure holds a staff. Two faces are visible with red tilak marks, but they are murtis rather than people, and no physical people are present.
