A deity murti stands in a gilded arched niche draped with orange silk. The murti wears a black velvet crown with a jeweled ornament, a green gemstone pendant, and a dense garland of red carnations, white and pink flowers. In the foreground, the back of a person with long dark hair in a pink garment faces the murti, seemingly in darshan. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with large windows and greenery outside.
