A photograph of a Ganesha murti seated on an ornate gold palanquin-style throne, framed by layered garlands of white, yellow, red and green flowers. The deity wears a red turban-like headdress, silver crown and ornaments, and carries a ratha-style decorative umbrella overhead with gold leaf finials. Gold lion figures flank the seat, and a brass lamp and a bowl of petals sit on the floor in front. Black curtains hang behind the display. No people are visible, so this is a decorated murti rather than a person.
