A black stone murti of a deity, dressed in a red garment and decorated with a tall white-and-blue crown, rudraksha mala beads and layered gold necklaces. The figure is garlanded with red roses and marigolds, with orange tassels hanging from the crown and flowers held in the hands. It stands in a decorated arched shrine with gold-patterned white drapery and a carved silver-toned arch framing green foliage. The murti is a statue, not a person.
