The murti wears a tall ornate golden crown, a green silk cloth draped over its head and shoulders, a green brocade wrap with gold border, and a heavy necklace of white and red jewelled beads. Its forehead bears a silver tripundra with a teal gemstone, and a red-and-green jewelled armband decorates the upper arm.
