Close photo of a small painted deity murti standing before a flower garland of red, white and green blossoms. The figure wears a blue cloth draped over the head and body, a red and gold peaked crown with mirror and sequin accents, and a long dense necklace of clear crystal stones. Rudraksha mala beads hang from the neck, and the figure holds a golden trident in one hand, with the other hand raised in a gesture. Smudges of red kumkum mark the forehead and body. A portion of a golden canopy and a red garment appear at the upper right. No people are visible in the frame, and the figure is a statue, so this is a depiction of a deity murti rather than a person.
