A gilded deity murti of the goddess Meenakshi, seen close up against a richly embellished golden arch. She wears a tall jewelled golden crown set with red, green and white stones, a black velvet band beneath it, and large round gold earrings. Her chest is covered by an elaborate jewelled necklace and bodice in red, green and white stones with ornamental ornaments. Her raised gilded hands hold ceremonial items, and pink flower garlands drape over her shoulders. Behind her, red velvet and gold filigree panels frame the image, with a crescent moon motif at the left edge. No people are visible.
