A deity murti is framed inside an arched structure of garlands: white jasmine strands along the top and sides, with dense bands of red and yellow roses and green leaves. Two wheat or grass sheaves stand upright beside it, and two decorative pots with pink flowers sit above. The figure wears white and maroon-bordered cloth, a silver-and-blue ornamental crown or headpiece, and layered silver necklaces. No people are visible in the frame.
