A dark-hued deity murti stands in a golden ornate niche with a deep maroon backdrop. The murti wears an orange silk garment, a green shawl over one shoulder, layered gold necklaces and a gold waist belt, and a white garland of jasmine-like blossoms with yellow and maroon flowers draped from the shoulders. A jewelled crown with a large central medallion sits on its head, with a white tilak and a red bindi on the forehead. The hands are dark and one holds a small object. This is a statue, not a living person.
