A seated golden murti of a goddess on an ornate golden throne with a trident in one hand, wearing a crown, blue silk skirt-like draping, a jeweled red and gold collar and a gold waist sash. Garlands of orange marigolds and white flowers drape the throne. In front, a woman in a gold and orange sari sits cross-legged on a purple cloth, reading from a book beside a brass plate of flowers and an oil lamp tray. Rows of small brass lamps sit on a blue cloth, a bowl of offerings and yellow and red roses stand nearby, and a brass kalasha and fruit are on the side. The setting is a decorated temple altar with glittering curtains, a puja for the deity.
