A deity murti. The figure wears a turquoise turban and turquoise cloth, a gold and rhinestone headband with a red centre stone, and gold beaded necklaces. Behind it stands a gold cobra-hood shaped canopy with five hanging green gem pendants. Yellow petals are scattered on a blue cloth at its base, and a gold-and-silver footed pedestal supports it. Blue-clad standing figures with gold jewellery appear at the left edge in the background.
