A black stone face of a deity murti, decorated with a silver-rimmed crown bearing a white urdhva marking, a red bindi, and large silver earrings, sits inside a cage-like enclosure of white pillars. Garlands of orange, red and white flowers, with dense green neem-like leaves, drape the figure and fill the base. No people are visible; the scene shows a Shiva-form murti being adorned with flower garlands at a temple shrine.
