A photograph of a deity murti dressed for worship in a gold-framed shrine with a green silk backdrop. The murti wears a white flower garland with red flower accents, a jeweled necklace with a blue stone, an orange turban, and sits on a magenta gold-bordered silk cloth. A man in orange robes bends forward, holding a string of white beads, and a black-and-tan dog stands at the base of the murti, sniffing the red flowers. A woman in white with gold bangles stands at the left edge. Fruit is placed on the cloth in front of the murti.
