A photograph of a black stone deity murti standing in a silver-framed niche before a magenta silk curtain, outdoors beside green foliage. The murti has four arms, wears a pink-red wrap, a red-and-gold bead necklace with a large pendant, and a red turban with a tilak on the forehead. Yellow and red marigold-and-rose garlands drape over both sides of the figure. The statue is a murti, not a person, so no physical people are present.
