A decorated deity murti, a standing figure dressed in a deep purple garment and adorned with heavy layered garlands of pink, white and gold flowers and jewelled ornaments. The central figure wears a tall ornate crown with a crescent emblem and holds ceremonial objects. Flanking the central deity are two smaller consort murtis, each wearing an ornate crown, orange and red sari-style garments and gold and gemstone jewellery. The background is a green silk drape framed by gilded carved pillars with floral and peacock motifs, and oil lamps are visible at the lower right. The scene appears to be a temple-style deity display, with no living people visible.
