A flower-decorated deity murti, a standing figure with a gold-toned face, ornate crown and layered jewelled necklaces, holds a ritual staff in one raised hand and a mudra in the other, wearing a leopard-print shawl over a white garment with coin-like ornaments. The murti is framed by a heart-shaped arrangement of marigolds, roses, purple flowers and green leaves, set on a golden throne-like base against a backdrop of red fairy lights. In the foreground, the back of a bald-headed man in white clothes stands facing the murti, apparently in worship. A pink and red canopy is visible above. The scene suggests a temple or procession setting with a decorated utsava murti.

A night procession shows a metal deity murti of Shiva, with a gold crown, leopard-skin cloth draped over the shoulders, and a sparkling jewelled necklace. The deity holds a trident (trishul) in one raised hand and a small ritual item in the other. The figure is framed by a large heart-shaped garland of red, yellow, purple and green flowers, with a red umbrella (chhatra) above.
