A close photograph of a gilded metal deity murti decorated for worship. The murti wears a black hair crown with pearl strands and jeweled ornaments, a purple garment, layered gold necklaces set with red, green and white stones, large jeweled earrings and a nose ring. It holds a green-and-gold bird-headed staff in one raised hand, and is framed by yellow marigold garlands, white jasmine and purple flowers. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue.
