A deity murti is displayed as the central subject, seated on a gold-and-yellow silk cloth beneath a golden cobra hood with five raised hoods and green gemstone pendants. The murti wears a red-and-orange brocade turban decorated with a red flower and green leaves, a diamond-studded gold band across the forehead with a red-stoned pendant, and a silver sacred thread. Rudraksha malas hang on the chest, and a white jasmine garland rests at the base. Long red rose garlands frame both sides, and an ornate gold pedestal supports the figure. The murti is not a living person.
