A large, brightly painted clay statue of the elephant-headed deity Ganesha sits on a tiered base of red-and-white striped steps outdoors, surrounded by green trees. The murti has a red trunk, red ears and a red-and-gold crown, and holds a modak-like sweet, a noose and an axe-like implement in raised hands. Garlands of marigolds and purple flowers hang around its neck and shoulders. At its base sit a white cow, an orange tiger or lion and a small orange animal, with a flowered offering at its feet. A woman in a light blue outfit walks in the background, and flanking tasselled orange and blue banners hang at the edges. No physical devotees are seated in the foreground.
