Close-up photograph of a gilded metal deity murti decorated for worship. The face is polished gold with arched brows, a red-tinted mouth, a nose ring and a forehead tilak. A tall jeweled crown set with white, red and green stones rises above it, with pink flowers tucked at the side. Ornate jeweled earrings, a layered jeweled necklace and a long garland of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers and green leaves hang across the chest. A red cloth backdrop and carved gold architecture frame the image, and the metal hand holds a green leaf. A date stamp reads 11 18 2008 11:46 at the lower left.
