A metal murti of a deity stands at the centre of an elaborate floral arrangement, framed by an arch of red, pink, orange and yellow roses and marigolds interspersed with green leaves. The figure wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over the shoulders, a green dhoti, a decorated gold crown and layered white and gold jewelled necklaces, and holds two silver trident-like spears crossed in front. A gold serpent-hood canopy with scale patterns rises behind, and a gold scaly pedestal sits at the base. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue, so no candidate is present.
