A black stone deity murti of Goddess Annapurna is dressed for Navratri in a red and blue silk sari with gold zari border, heavy jewelled necklaces, and a gold crown with a red stone set within a gold halo. Thick garlands of roses, marigolds and multicoloured ruffled fabric in yellow, pink, red, green and white frame the figure. In the right hand a small brass bowl holds white rice, with a wooden ladle resting in it, symbolising annadan. No people are visible in the foreground; other decorated murtis stand blurred in the background.
