A temple shrine holds a decorated deity murti of a seated male and female pair, shown with a trident, garlands and ornate silver jewellery. The seated figure wears a red and green turban and the female figure wears a red and gold sari. Golden lamp stands flank the shrine, and coconut bunches are arranged on both sides beneath a gilded arch. A small figure in maroon robes and a gold necklace sits at the base of the shrine beside a flower-draped kalasha with a gold-tiered top, and a pink and white painted animal figure appears at the left. The setting suggests a chandi homa-related shrine display, though no fire pit or participants are visible.
