A black stone murti of Lord Vishnu standing in a golden arched niche, decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds and red and white flowers, green leaf garlands, and layered gold and gem-studded jewelry. The deity wears a golden crown, a white dhoti with gold border, and a Vaishnava tilak on the forehead, with conch and discus held in raised hands. A small bronze figure stands at its base, also garlanded. The murti is a deity form, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
