A black stone deity murti stands in front of a large dark circular backdrop, richly decorated with garlands. Red rose garlands, yellow and white flower strands, and green lime-like fruit strings drape the figure, which wears a silver crown, a jewelled necklace and a yellow-orange cloth at the waist. Dried flower arches with yellow, white and purple blooms rise behind it, and a tray of petals sits at the base. Several carved arms hold ritual objects around the figure. No physical people are visible in the scene.
