The statue wears an elaborate gold crown with red and green jewels, a tilak on the forehead, layered gold necklaces and a belt, and a white dhoti with gold borders under a red and gold shawl.

Red rose petals lie at its feet on a gold pedestal beside a sign reading KAILA... HOUST... USA. This is a photograph of a deity murti statue, not a living person.
