A golden metal deity murti of a female form stands in a temple setting, adorned with a tall black hair crown topped with a jeweled ornament, gold earrings, a nose ring, and elaborate layered necklaces set with red, green and white stones. It wears an orange brocade garment and a blue silk cloth at the lower body, with red and white rose and jasmine garlands draped across its shoulders and arms. One hand raises a golden ritual object, and a teal drapery and carved gold panel stand behind it against a stone wall.
