A close photograph of a golden-brown metal or stone murti of a seated deity with a smiling face, bare upper body, and an ornate multi-strand necklace and armlets. Its right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. Behind it are garlands of white, yellow, red and green flowers, a yellow cloth, and glimpses of ornate gold and red decorations. The image is partly distorted by a glass or reflective surface. No physical people are clearly visible; the deity is a statue.
