A dark-stone deity murti stands in a silver arched shrine niche against a brown tiled wall. The murti wears a silver crown, a turquoise silk skirt with gold border, layered garlands of yellow, red, white and green flowers, and a gold-and-gem necklace. Two gleaming brass lamp-bearer statues flank the shrine, each holding a lit oil lamp. In the foreground a small gold-framed shrine holds a pink-draped figure, with a golden kalasha-like finial below. Scattered flower petals lie on the steps. No people are visible in the scene.
