The murti wear red and gold ornaments, crowns and ornate jewellery, with one in a purple skirt and orange-red blouse. A man with long dark hair in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a white garland around his neck, stands on the left holding a lit oil lamp and a brass vessel toward the central figures. Brass lamps and offering vessels sit on the floor, and a golden stone lingam with flower garlands is in the foreground.
