A photograph of a deity murti seated on an ornate golden throne with a curved gilded backrest. The murti wears a tall gold crown, gold jewellery and a dhoti-style cloth, and is heavily decorated with long garlands in orange, yellow, red, purple and white flowers arranged in layered rows around the backrest. Below, a purple silk cloth drapes the platform, with marigold flowers at the base. A second smaller murti is partly visible beside it on the left, and a standing figure in dark clothing appears at the far right edge. The background is a pale hazy tent or hall interior.
