A photograph of a golden-brown, oil-smeared deity murti seated on a carved golden pedestal before a red curtain. The seated female figure wears a tall crown, a broad necklace and armlets, and holds a small ceremonial object in one hand. A second, larger murti with a tall conical crown stands partly visible at left, and a blurred hand pours liquid over it. At the bottom right, the back of a person in white clothes and a dark head covering is visible. Ornate carved pillars and a ceiling frame the scene.
