Close view of a gilded deity murti with a black stone face, marked with a white and red tilak on the forehead. It wears an ornate golden crown and armour-like gold jewellery, a teal and green beaded necklace, and dark rudraksha malas. Thick garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers drape around it, and a golden hand rests on its lap. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue.
