A seated deity murti is decorated for a flower alankara, framed by a large arch of garlands in yellow marigolds, red roses, white jasmine strands, purple blossoms and green leaves. The figure wears a tall crown, large earrings, a red and gold sari with layered necklaces, and holds a staff-like object in one hand while the other hand is raised. It sits on a blue-purple cloth on a raised platform with white and red striped steps. Gold-carved arch panels and pink cloth frame the shrine, and trees appear outside.
