A close-up photograph of a copper-faced metal murti of a deity adorned for worship. The head wears a tall orange and green turban with a gold-striped band, a jewelled ornament, and a white pearl tassel draped at the side. The face has a broad smile, red lips and painted eyes. Layers of brown and gold beaded necklaces, a pearl-studded collar and jewelled earrings cover the chest. A hand with a silver-and-white bead-studded palm is raised at left. Yellow marigold and red rose garlands frame the figure against a green cloth with gold motifs. The statue is a figure of worship, not a living person, and no physical people are visible.
