A woman in a cream sari with a wide gold border performs aarti before a shrine on the right. She holds a tiered brass lamp with several lit flames in her right hand. Three white marble murtis stand on a black-tiled platform, the central one wearing a gold crown and a gold sunburst halo behind it, holding spears, and decorated with red and white garlands. Beside it, the adjacent figures wear green and red garments and jewelry. Offerings are arranged in front: a brass plate of yellow mangoes, bowls of flowers and leaves, halved coconut, pineapple, apples and other fruit, with garland strands on the platform. Dark murtis of seated figures with garlands sit in the background against a beige block wall.
