A small gilded metal murti of a deity stands on a dark stone pedestal inside a temple shrine, in front of a large red and gold brocade cloth. The figure wears a jeweled golden crown with a tall pointed finial, a dark matted hair bun, a red tilak on the forehead, and a yellow garment with layered gold necklaces, a round gold ornament at the waist and a white dhoti with a gold border. Its raised right hand holds a tall gold cup-shaped object, and marigold garlands hang from the shoulders. A reflective glass surface beneath shows the murti's reflection, with a red cloth and a dark braided cord resting near its base.
