A brass deity murti of Shiva-like form with a teal and blue cloth wrapped on its head is decorated with a dense garland of golden-fried vada-style snacks and bright green limes arranged in tiers around the figure. A brass trident leans against the right side, and a rudraksha mala and flower garlands in purple and orange surround the setting. The murti sits on a brass base over a white cloth on a dark floor, with orange and gold fabric in the background. The caption identifies the setting as Nithyanandeshwara Hindu Temple in Kailasa Seattle. No people are visible.
