A silver-toned metal murti of the child deity Krishna, seated with a flute raised to his lips, is surrounded by marigolds in yellow and red and a purple velvet cushion. White cloth is draped at his waist, a pearl-like beaded mala hangs across his chest, and a peacock feather is visible at the upper left. The setting suggests a decorated altar at a flower-adorned temple event.
