A gilded copper murti of a deity stands in a green-curtained niche, shown in close view. The figure wears a jewelled crown with red, green and white stones, a yellow silk garment, a layered necklace set with red, green and white stones, and a pearl-hung waistband. Garlands of pink and white jasmine and dried red roses hang from the shoulders to the base. The raised hands hold a spear-like staff with a flag-shaped banner, a trident-like weapon, and a conch-like object, and the forehead bears a red kumkum mark. Stone carving of a temple frame is visible at the left edge.
