A decorated deity murti is the central focus, seated atop an elaborate ornamented altar. The figure wears gold and silver jewellery and a crown, with a long yellow and orange garland of marigolds draped across the shoulders and a red cloth hanging down. Heaps of white flowers and red garlands decorate the tiered base, with small brass pots and offering vessels arranged around it. Two embroidered orange and red pennants with a white bird emblem flank the deity against a white draped backdrop under pinkish-purple lighting. No people are visible in the frame.
