A decorated shrine or peetha with a deity murti behind it, dressed in green and red silk and layered with gold-toned jewellery and a garland of white and gold beads. In front, three kalasha pots with gold-toned rims, wrapped in white cloth and adorned with ornate beaded necklaces, sit on a tiered base with red and orange lotus-petal motifs. Leaf sprigs and yellow kusha grass tufts are tied to the pots. A devotee's hand rests at the left edge, and a gold-trimmed green cloth drapes the platform.
