Close-up of a golden metal deity murti of a goddess with a tall jeweled crown and a white pearl-and-stone headdress, set against a backdrop of green, pink, white and red woven yarn garlands. She wears a red sari, layered pearl and jeweled necklaces, dangling earrings and armbands, and holds a trident and a ceremonial staff in her hands. Her black hair falls loosely behind her shoulders. The festoon of colourful garlands and a decorated shrine frame suggest a temple or procession setting.
