A black stone deity murti stands inside a temple hall, dressed in a magenta and gold silk sari-style garment with a gold border, and adorned with layered garlands of yellow marigolds, red flowers and white jasmine. The murti wears a tall gold crown with a red gem, has a vertical tilak on its forehead, and holds one hand raised in a gesture while the other rests at its side. A carved golden arch frames the left side, and a wooden window with open shutters is behind it. The wet stone floor reflects light, and no people are visible.
