Close-up photograph of a gilded metal deity murti or processional image with a painted face, black-lined eyes, red lips and an ornate jeweled crown, draped in orange silk with gold-thread borders. Fresh flowers, including red roses, white blooms and yellow marigolds, are arranged around it on green foliage, and a wooden pole stands at the right edge. No living people are visible, so the image shows only the murti and its floral decoration. The face is a statue, not a person.
