A decorated deity murti seated at night in front of a shimmering sequined backdrop. The figure wears a tall jewelled crown with a gold finial, a large gold multi-strand necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and an orange-gold dhoti. White and yellow flower garlands drape the seat and the figure's shoulders, with red pompom tassels and pink flower accents. Two raised hands hold small golden objects, and the face is painted with a red and yellow tilak. No living people are visible; the scene is a photograph of a festival-style murti adornment.
