A photograph of a decorated deity murti of Subrahmanya on a gilded throne-like altar. The central figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti and a tall crown, holds a spear-like vel and other attributes, and is adorned with a white flower garland and beaded necklaces. Two consort figures flank him on either side, each in green and gold silk saris with jewelled necklaces and crowns, with garlands in green, magenta, orange, yellow and white draped over the arch. A small peacock-like animal figure sits at the base near a kalasha-style vessel. A blue placard in front reads the names of the deities, and the scene is a worship display in a room with pink walls and a red curtain.
