A deity murti, a metal figure of a standing god with a golden crown, orange cloth draped over the shoulders, and ornate silver and white jewelry, holds a trident-like spear in each hand. The figure is framed by an elaborate arch of red, yellow, white and orange roses, marigolds, green leaves and purple garlands, set beneath a gilded temple canopy carved with elephants and a seated figure on a lotus. No physical people are visible, and the figure is a statue rather than a living person.
