A photograph of a gilded deity murti. It wears a tall jewelled crown set with white stones and red accents, a red-and-white heart motif on the crown, gold earrings and a gold nose ring, and an orange garment under heavy gold and gem-studded ornaments. White jasmine-style garlands drape over the shoulders, framed by gold ceremonial staffs or finials on each side and a backdrop of yellow and purple flowers and green foliage. The ornamented setting suggests a decorated pada puja or alankara display.
