Close photo of a Hindu deity murti (a goddess form) decorated for worship at a temple shrine. The murti wears an ornate jeweled crown with stones and gold filigree, a jeweled necklace and heavy gold ornaments, and a deep maroon sari. Garlands of white jasmine-style flowers, red roses and pink-and-yellow blooms drape the figure, and white and pink roses sit in the foreground. Behind it stands a copper-toned embossed backdrop and a painted green palm-leaf decoration, with an orange cloth at left. No people are visible.
