A photograph of a dark stone murti of a multi-armed deity standing at centre in a gilded arched niche against a green backdrop. The central figure wears a white dhoti, an orange and white striped shawl, a beaded necklace and a tall crown with a tripundra on the forehead, and holds implements in several hands, with a seated bull-like mount at its feet. Flanking it are two smaller dark standing figures in white garments with gold belts, crowned with tall headdresses and holding objects. The gold arch has floral and bird relief motifs. This depicts deity murtis, not living people.
