A decorated deity murti in a shrine setting is the main subject, dressed in a red and gold silk sari with a gold-bordered pallu and adorned with layered jewelled necklaces, a crown of stones, and a large ornate tiara-style halo. It is framed by a horseshoe-shaped arch of yellow and orange marigold garlands and surrounded by a ring of green limes. Pink flowers are tucked into the garland and at the base, which rests on a blue cloth. Behind, brass kalasha vessels, flower offerings and a yellow cloth suggest a puja arrangement. No people are visible.
