Close photo of a copper-coloured deity murti wearing a red and gold turban with a jewelled ornament at the front. The face has painted kohl eyes and red lips. The figure wears a heavy jewelled necklace and a large encrusted garland of white and multicoloured stones across the chest, with bangles on the arms. The right hand is raised in a blessing pose, and a golden trident rests against the shoulder. Marigold garlands and dark green foliage surround the figure. No people are visible; the figure is a statue, so a person is none.
