A photograph of a deity murti lying reclined and wrapped in a dense arrangement of flower garlands. Yellow marigold and white jasmine garlands, green leaves and red roses surround the figure. The murti wears a plum-coloured cloth, a gold and jewelled crown with green and red stones, gold armlets and a golden hand raised near the bottom edge. The image is a decorated idol, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
