A decorated deity murti is the central subject, shown in a dense frame of yellow, white, pink and purple marigold and jasmine garlands. The figure wears an orange and gold turban and a red-and-gold garment with an ornate gemstone breastplate and a heavy gold necklace. Its hands are raised in a blessing gesture. Foreground shows the orange turban of a person seated at the lower edge, and brass lamps and vessels sit on a stand at left. The temple setting shows golden floral carvings. This shows the Vaikunta Ekadashi 2022 celebration at Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adhi Kailash, with a deity murti rather than a person as the focal point.
