A photograph of a dark stone murti of a deity with a tall crown and carved ornaments, its face in profile, draped with yellow and red flower garlands and a green leafy garland tied with a string. Blurred figures in saffron and orange robes stand in the background, along with a few white-clad figures and a tall dark statue at the left edge. A red wall and umbrella-like canopies appear behind. No physical person is clearly in focus; the murti is the main subject.
