A richly decorated deity murti. The figure wears an ornate gold and jewelled crown with a green stone, a gold and gem-set necklace, and holds a gold-tipped staff in each hand, with a raised golden hand gesture. Gold-fringed pink and gold silk drapery hangs behind. Smaller decorated murtis flank the central figure at the lower left and right edges. The scene reads as temple worship with flower decoration.
