A dark-stone deity murti. It wears a blue garment, red cloth, a gold-toned jewelled necklace and a yellow marigold garland, with white flower strands at its head, and sits beneath an ornate gold arched prabhavali. Small oil lamps glow on the floor before it, and incense sticks rise from a central holder. In the foreground, a brass bell, a brass lamp and a brass thali hold a steel cup with sacred food and small items. A framed portrait of a smiling saffron-clad figure with a flower garland hangs on the left wall; it is a depiction in print, not a physical person in the scene. No people are present.
