A photograph of a statue, not a living person, standing in a shrine niche against a mustard-yellow wall. The gold-painted murti wears a red and green turban with gold ornaments and a crescent moon ornament, a red garment with gold borders, layered white pearl and gold necklaces, a dark green gem pendant, and rudraksha malas held in one raised hand. A second green-and-gold clad murti stands to the right. Marigolds and rose petals lie at its feet, and a brass oil lamp sits at the lower left beside a small wooden stool holding a folded maroon cloth. This is a deity murti, not an identifiable person.
