Close view of a small metal deity murti with a painted face and a tall rounded crown, set in front of an ornate gilded arch with carved makara-like scrollwork. The murti is garlanded with pink and white lotus-like flowers and has a cobra hood behind its head. A brass tray in the foreground holds more pink and white flowers and a red-and-white offering, and a hand is visible at the left edge holding the tray. Incense sticks smoke at the lower left, a small brass cup sits at the bottom left, and a brass plate lies at the right. The setting suggests a temple shrine with a naivedyam offering in progress.
