A dark-stone deity murti stands in a gilded arched shrine with red velvet drapes behind it. The murti wears a tall silver crown with a vertical Vaishnava-style tilak, a blue and gold silk garment with a white border, and layered jewellery. Heavy garlands of yellow marigolds, white jasmine, and red-and-pink flowers hang from its shoulders, and petals are scattered through the air. The ornate gold frame and pale-orange cloth below suggest an alankaram decoration in a temple setting, with no people visible. A caption reads Kailasa Seattle - Nithyanandeshwara Hindu Temple.
