A silver-faced deity murti of Goddess Meenakshi stands in a shrine dressed with dense garlands of red roses, white flowers and purple blossoms, with green leaves tucked among them. The goddess wears a silver crown, heavy gold and jewelled necklaces, a red and gold sari with yellow lower border, and holds a parrot-topped green sceptre. A red silk canopy with gold trim and an orange tasselled fringe frame the figure, and a dark object sits in the foreground. No people are visible, and this shows a photograph of the murti in a festival setting.
