A large golden statue of a seated deity figure, the murti, wearing a white and gold-bordered turban with red trim and a white dhoti with a red and gold border. It holds a golden trident in its raised left hand and makes a mudra with its right. The figure wears layered silver and jewelled necklaces, a maroon velvet vest, a jewelled waist belt and ornate earrings. A red curtain backs the statue against a pale stone ceiling. No living people are visible, and the statue is not a presentation of a living person, so this is a depiction of a deity murti rather than a person.
