A life-sized figure of a deity murti stands among garlands of marigolds and roses, dressed in a red silk tunic heavily trimmed with gold zari borders and a gold necklace with a red-stone pendant. The head wears a gold-brown turban decorated with red beads and a peacock feather, and long dark hair falls over the shoulders. The metallic face shows painted eyes, red lips and a tilak on the forehead. The raised right hand is covered by a silver-toned palm ornament patterned with concentric circles and coloured stones. A gold-brown shawl drapes over the right shoulder. Vibrant flower garlands in red, yellow and white frame the figure against a dark background. No people are visible.
