A photograph of a decorated deity murti of Venkateswara (Vishnu) standing at the centre under a large golden five-hooded serpent canopy (Adishesha). The central figure wears an ornate jewelled crown, large earrings, and a heavy gold-and-jewel necklace with a bright gold-and-silver garland, with a white and gold dhoti and an orange-and-gold sash. Flanking the central figure are two smaller consort murtis, each in a jewelled crown and gold-and-red-stone necklaces, one draped in a purple garment and the other in a gold garment with orange border. All three are decorated with long garlands of red roses, white flowers and yellow marigolds, and sprigs of green foliage. The setting appears to be a night procession, with a drum visible at upper right and dark foliage behind. No physical people are visible.
