Close photo of a small metal deity murti standing on a gold-toned pedestal, holding a ritual cup in its raised hand and a mala of white beads. It wears a blue and gold brocade garment, layered white and red beaded necklaces, a jewelled waist ornament, and has long black braided hair with a tilak on its forehead. Behind it, blurred orange-clothed figures and white and yellow flower garlands suggest a temple puja setting with ornate gold metalwork at right. No physical people are clearly in focus.
