A golden deity murti of Durga-like goddess stands on a lion mount in a shrine niche before a blue and red brocade backdrop. She wears an ornate silver-and-green jeweled crown, multiple strands of pearls and beaded necklaces, and a striped pink, cream and blue sari. Orange and pink marigold garlands drape from her shoulders to her knees. She holds weapons and objects in her multiple hands, including a bow-like implement and a trident-like staff, with red bangles on her arms. Red-painted pillars frame the niche, and a small brass lamp and offerings sit at the base.
