A photograph of a deity murti decorated for festival worship, seated in a silver-framed niche. The figure wears a green velvet garment, a jewelled necklace, large ornate earrings and a green-and-gold turban, and holds a spear-like staff. It is framed by red rose and white jasmine garlands. In front stands a golden horse-headed vahana with a green-and-gold cloth draped over it. A red-and-gold embroidered textile hangs at the right edge. No physical people are visible, so this is a statue-based devotional scene rather than a person in the frame.
