A stone temple shrine with carved pillars and a golden arch framing a central group of deity murti statues seated together, adorned with flower garlands and ornate jewellery. Flanking them are a standing figure holding a long staff with a crown and a figure with a rudraksha mala and white beard. Brass lamps stand on a stone platform in front, with brass vessels, flower offerings and red and white petals below. No living people are visible. The scene appears to be a temple shrine display rather than a live ritual.
