A festival deity murti is displayed on a gold-and-copper ornate arch frame decorated with garlands of yellow, white, red, purple and green flowers. The multi-armed deity figure wears a red and maroon sari with a gold-patterned orange skirt, a jewelled silver collar and a crown, holding a trident and other weapons. It stands on a golden lion-shaped pedestal on a wooden platform. In the foreground a smaller golden-framed niche with a pink cloth backdrop holds two kalasha-like vessels wrapped in purple and white cloth, garlanded with orange and white flowers. Seated devotees in the background wear white and green, and a red-walled hall with palm leaves surrounds the scene.
