A small bronze deity murti, dressed in a red and gold silk garment and a red jeweled crown, stands in front of a large printed portrait. The murti wears layered garlands of red beads, pearl strands and rudraksha, and has rose petals scattered at its feet on a red-and-gold cloth. The portrait behind shows a bearded man in an orange turban with a vertical tilak, wearing saffron robes, a gold rudraksha-style necklace and gold bangles, with one hand raised in blessing. A blue embroidered cloth and a small metal figure appear at the right edge. The printed portrait is a depiction, and the murti is a statue on a shrine-like display.
