Close-up photograph of a polished metal murti, a deity figure with folded hands in anjali mudra, wearing a green and gold silk garment with gold border, a jewelled crown with red and green stones, jewelled earrings and a necklace of stones. A red kumkum tilak marks the forehead. It is surrounded by garlands of white jasmine-style flowers, purple globe amaranth and yellow marigolds, with rudraksha beads visible at the sides. A staff-like object is held in one hand. Typical of temple worship and decoration, a plain description beats an uncertain ritual name.
