A photograph of a deity murti decorated for worship, seated on a golden peacock vahana within a heavily garlanded shrine. The central deity wears a tall ornate silver crown, jewelled necklaces and a white garment, and is framed by red velvet cushions. Two attendant figures stand on either side, one holding a staff and one holding a ceremonial fan, both in silver-decorated costume. Red, pink and white roses, marigolds and green foliage form dense garlands around the arch. A silver kalasha or vessel sits on a tray in front of the peacock, and a red patterned cloth covers the base. No physical people are visible.
