A photograph of a golden-metal murugan-style deity murti standing in a gilded ornate frame against a green silk backdrop. The central figure wears an orange turban, a crown-like headdress, a jewelled and garlanded body with a large bejewelled necklace, and holds a long spear or vel upright. A white jasmine garland with red flower accents drapes the figure, and a small bronze peacock stands at the lower left. A smaller consort figure with a jewelled crown stands to the right, also garlanded in white flowers. No people are visible in the scene; only the metal deity figures are shown.
