A deity murti is decorated for worship, seated under a large gilded cobra hood with five golden snake-head finials set with green stones. The face is covered by a red-orange cloth wrapped around the head, with green leaves and white flowers tucked in. Garlands of yellow marigolds and magenta and purple flowers hang over the shoulders. A jewelled band crosses the forehead, and a gold-patterned maroon cloth drapes the body above a gilded base. No people are visible in the frame; an orange garment appears at the right edge.
