Close-up photograph of a golden deity murti with a polished gold face, painted black eyes and red lips, a red-brown turban wrapped with a leopard-print cloth, and a gold crown with red and green stones. A trident-like ornament rises above the head. The chest is covered in red fabric heavily embellished with jewelled and beaded work in green, red and white, with a large ornate jewelled shoulder piece. The raised golden hand is in a blessing gesture, and yellow marigold garlands surround the figure. This is a statue, not a living person.
