A decorated metal murti of a deity with a tall jeweled crown stands at centre, holding a trident and a long staff topped with an ornate finial, while embellished ornaments and a jeweled chest piece cover its body. It is framed by a dense arch of marigold, red rose and white jasmine garlands with green leaves against a dark background. Smaller decorated murtis flank it on each side, one wearing a pink flower at the head, both in jeweled crowns and ornaments. The scene reads as a deity alankaram at a temple or ashram. No people are visible.
