A large gilded deity murti stands outdoors under trees, framed by an ornate golden arch with carved scrollwork and a decorative top. The murti wears a tall gold crown, a white Vaishnava-style urdhva pundra mark on its forehead, and layered jewelled necklaces with turquoise and red stones. Its arms are adorned with gold bracelets and armlets. Thick garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves drape across the shoulders and down the sides, and a red silk cloth covers the body. Green foliage and bare branches surround the scene in soft daylight.2016-12-05Photo 11711470December 05 20162016-12-05Photo 11709674December 09 20172017-12-09October 12 20172017-10-12December 07 20162016-12-07A large standing deity murti, identified by its black face with white urdhva pundra tilak, golden crown and ornate jewellery, is the central subject.
