A golden statue of a standing figure is decorated for worship in an indoor shrine. The figure wears an ornate gold crown and heavy gold necklaces, with a red and gold dhoti, and holds a silver sword or staff. Garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses, orange flowers, and white jasmine drape the statue. Rose petals are scattered on the dark floor at its base, and a gilded arched backdrop with a yellow cloth stands behind it. Tall cylindrical banners in red, blue, green and orange flank the statue. This is a deity murti or statue, not a living person.
