A ceremonially dressed Ganesha murti stands at the centre, elephant-headed with a tall gold crown set with red, green and white stones, and a black cloth with a jewelled tripundra-style band across the forehead. Heavy garlands of yellow, purple, magenta and red-orange flowers frame the figure on both sides. Layered gold and jewelled necklaces, rudraksha-bead strands and a silver trunk-ornament adorn the body, and a silver or copper-toned bowl or ladle is held in one hand. The murti wears a white dhoti with a gold border. The backdrop is a pale cream silk curtain. No physical people are visible.
