A deity murti sits in a silver arched shrine niche, dressed in a red silk sari with gold border and layered silver and gold necklaces. Its yellow face bears a red tilak and it is crowned with a silver headdress, and a golden trident leans beside it. Garlands of marigolds and white, pink and green flowers drape its body and the arch. Two small brass attendant figures flank the base, one holding a lamp, and a red flower is tucked near the trident. A photograph from a temple shrine, with no people visible.
