A golden metal deity murti of a multi-armed goddess dominates the frame, wearing a tall gold crown, a silver-toned face with a red bindi, layered gold and jeweled necklaces and large earrings. Many of her hands hold ritual weapons and objects, including a trident, a bell and a damaru-like drum, while garlands of orange marigold and red, green and white flowers drape her shoulders and arms. The background is warm red-brown with a blurred shelf of colourful cloth. No physical people are visible, and the image is a photograph of the murti rather than a depiction of a person.
