A dark stone deity murti of Shiva, dressed for worship, is framed by a large golden hooded cobra canopy with five golden cobra-head finials set with green stone pendants. The murti wears a pale white and red jasmine garland, a band of red roses, a mala of dark rudraksha beads, an orange and gold silk cloth wrapped on top, and a diamond-studded band with a red stone pendant. Blue silk drapery and a brass rod sit behind, and red and yellow flowers lie at the base on a gold pedestal. No people are visible.
