A small gilt bronze deity murti stands at the centre of a pink plate scattered with rose petals, wrapped in an orange cloth shawl. The four-armed figure holds ritual emblems in its raised hands, with a crowned head. A smaller brass Ganesha figure sits to the left, and a seated gilt figure, possibly Lakshmi-like, sits to the right beside a single red-and-yellow flower. The scene is a puja arrangement with offerings, shot in soft warm light. No physical people are visible.
