A shrine niche framed by an ornate silver arch holds a black-faced deity murti in a red and gold silk sari, wearing a silver crown and carrying a trident, decorated with red, yellow and green marigold garlands and white jasmine strands. Two brass attendant figures stand on either side holding lamps or vessels. In front lie offerings: a bowl of flowers, plates of bananas, sweets and fruit, a small brass kalasha, a bell, an oil lamp and a plate of packaged sweets. The floor is dark polished stone with a striped woven mat. No people are visible; this is a puja setting.
