A black stone deity murti, apparently a Shiva form, is dressed for worship on a bright magenta cloth. It wears a teal and gold patterned garment, a deep magenta sheer scarf, and a heavy layered brown beaded necklace with gold pendants. Red and white flower garlands drape across its shoulders and arms, with a red flower tucked near the hand. The image shows no people or visible ritual action beyond the decorated murti.
