A golden processional shrine (palanquin or ratha) framed by ornate gilded arches with repoussé floral and animal carvings. At the centre sits a bronze-coloured deity murti seated in a meditative pose, wearing a jewelled crown and an elaborate gold necklace of beads. It is draped in white cloth with a coloured border and decorated with yellow marigold garlands and white flower garlands. Below, a gilded cobra hood with a coiled serpent and a kalasha-like golden base complete the arrangement against green and teal drapery, lit against a dark background.
