It wears a green and orange turban wrapped with gold-patterned fabric, a jewelled ornament with red, green and white stones at the front, and large paisley-shaped jewelled earrings set with white stones and red accents.

Close-up of a polished metal murti with a gleaming copper-gold face, painted black eyebrows and eyes, a red bindi and bright red lips. It wears a vivid orange turban adorned with a jewelled ornament of white stones, red and green gems and pearl drops, plus a matching jewelled earring and a wide jewelled necklace set with red and green stones. Golden beaded ornaments hang at the lower left, and an orange cloth drapes the right side. Nothing here is a living person, so this is a statue depicting a figure, not a person.

The head wears a tall orange and green turban with a gold-striped band, a jewelled ornament, and a white pearl tassel draped at the side. The face has a broad smile, red lips and painted eyes.
