A close photograph of a golden metal deity murti, its face turned to the side, wearing an orange-red turban with a pearl tassel and a jewelled ornament at the brow. It has jewelled earrings, a jewelled necklace, and an ornate silver-and-gold armlet on the upper arm. The murti is framed by red, yellow and white flower garlands and draped in orange and green cloth with gold shimmer. The hand raised in front holds a jewelled silver ornamental piece studded with coloured stones. No people are visible; the statue is the only figure in the scene.
