A photograph of a decorated deity murti seated on an ornate pedestal of painted stone, with a garland of white flowers draped down its front and a purple and gold cloth covering its head. The murti wears an orange and teal garment, a heavy beaded necklace, and gold armlets. Two fierce lion figures in yellow flank the base, and a coiled cobra with a raised hood sits below. Two bearded attendant figures in red dhotis kneel beside the murti, and a green-leaved decoration frames the scene. In the background, a few people in white clothing stand near an open pavilion with pink columns and a stone wall. Hindu temple setting with deity darshan.
