A golden-faced deity murti seated against a dense semicircular backdrop of marigolds and garlands in yellow, orange, red, purple and white. The figure wears a red-brown and orange ornate robe, a layered gold and jewelled necklace set with red and green stones, and a patterned red and orange turban with a jewelled ornament. A red bindi marks the forehead. The silver-coloured hands are raised in abhaya mudra on the left and rest on the right, with a small orange and gold armlet on the upper arm. This is a decorated statue, not a living person, arranged for a festival or utsava display.
