A bronze Ganesha murti, the elephant-headed deity, is decorated with red and yellow marigold garlands and a deep red-and-gold turban topped by a jewelled crown. The figure wears a green silk garment with ornate gold and red-jewelled necklaces, and holds a modak or small object in one raised hand. Behind it hang pink and cream striped silk drapes with gold-embossed silver panels on either side. No physical people are visible; the image shows only the decorated deity murti.
