A silver deity murti stands under a mandapa-style gold-and-orange umbrella, fully draped in garlands of red, yellow, white and green flowers arranged in heart-shaped and curtain-like patterns. The murti wears a crown and layered silver ornaments and necklaces. It rests on a red and gold brocade cloth on a raised platform before a woven mat, with scattered flower petals on the floor. Behind it, strings of flower garlands hang across a doorway of an orange-walled temple hall lit by ceiling lights. A gold-edged red bolster sits to each side. No physical people are visible.
