A dark metal murti of a deity, shown from the chest up, receives a flowing abhishekam of water. The murti wears a tall ornate crown, a heavy necklace and a sacred thread-like bead garland across the chest, with its right hand raised in blessing. Behind it hangs a red drapery, flanked by tiered tassels in yellow, purple, white, red and green, and rudraksha bead garlands drape the frame. A small inset portrait of a bearded man in an orange head covering appears in the top left corner.
