A photograph of a metal deity murti wrapped in red and orange cloth bound with twine, inside a wooden temple structure with gold-painted carved brackets. The murti has long black hair and a crown-like ornament, and a red shawl with gold border hangs down its side. Red and white flower garlands hang in the background. At left, a person in white top and orange cloth stands partly visible, and a small portion of another figure appears at the far left. The wrapping appears to be a padding or dressing of the murti during a ritual setup.
