A deity murti heavily adorned with yellow marigold garlands and red rose garlands, with a gold-and-red tilak mark on a yellow cloth covering the head and a green leaf and grass stalk tucked in place. Glittering jewelled necklaces and a silver-toned bejewelled figure fill the frame, with a decorated arch of flowers and a gold canopy behind.
