A silver-plated statue of a figure riding a rearing horse stands inside a silver-coloured temple shrine. The rider wears a green and red striped cloth draped over the shoulder and a garland of white and red flowers; a red and orange flower crown sits on the head. The horse has a silver bridle and saddle. A large floral garland of red, pink, orange and white roses lies at the base of the pedestal. Pink and orange garlands hang across the ceiling and pillars, and silver-ornamented columns frame the scene. Two people are partially visible in the background, one in white and one in a light blue shirt, sitting near the shrine. This is a photograph of a deity murti in a temple.
