A photograph of a deity murti, a smooth orange-painted stone form with painted eyes and a red tilak mark, dressed in a red and gold cloth with a gold crown-like headpiece. The murti is heavily garlanded with white flower strands and scattered red rose petals, with marigold-yellow flowers below. Two brass oil lamps with lit flames stand on either side, and a red-and-white patterned cloth and a coconut sit at the base. Ornamental gold brocade hangings frame the scene. No people are visible.
