A decorated deity murti, seated on a tiger-skin cushion, is adorned for a Navaratri festival. The goddess-form figure wears an orange silk sari with a red-and-gold border, layered gold and jewelled necklaces, a jewelled crown with a crescent ornament, and holds a brass bowl of red flowers and a red flower in one hand. A dark stone murti beside it wears a jewelled silver-and-gold necklace, a green and gold wrap, and a garland. Thick garlands of yellow and white marigolds, purple globe amaranth and green leaves frame the scene, with a red-and-gold canopy above.
