A photograph of a silver-toned statue of a deity in a red and saffron turban, adorned with layered gold and jewelled necklaces, rudraksha-style beads, and ornate earrings. It holds a trident in one raised hand and a small brass dish with a red flower in the other. The statue stands against an ornate golden lattice screen with carved floral panels. It is a murti, not a living person, so no physical people appear in the scene.
