A dark stone deity murti stands in a silver-framed arched niche against a turquoise cloth backdrop, surrounded by trees. The figure wears a purple and gold silk dhoti-like garment, a large ornate jewelled face-shield or mask with red and white gems, multiple arms holding objects, and a purple crown-like headdress. Garlands of yellow and white flowers with red blossoms hang across its shoulders and arms. Silver and jewelled ornaments decorate the chest and waist, and a silver arch with carved motifs frames the shrine.
