A deity murti of Lord Kalabhairava, the fierce form of Shiva, dressed for worship. A large silver-and-gold face or mask with five fierce heads sits atop the figure, behind a silver snake hood. A thick garland of white jasmine, red roses, yellow marigolds and purple flowers drapes over the murti, and a yellow flower heap covers the chest. A silver adorned ornament with a red stone sits at the centre, and an ornate blue-and-gold embroidered garment with a mirror-work design is visible below. Behind the murti, a red and gold striped cloth and sparkling gold-and-jewelled backdrop surround the shrine. The image carries a photographer credit mark in the lower right corner.
