A decorated statue of a deity stands in a golden shrine-like niche on a red stage backdrop, framed by a large arch of marigold and other flower garlands in yellow, orange, purple and white. The figure wears an orange-red dhoti, a gold waist belt, a layered bead necklace, and a tall ornate crown with red and gold trim, with hands raised in a gesture of blessing. A golden peacock-shaped vahana sits in the foreground on an orange cloth. A gold-painted canopy with floral motifs spans the top and purple drapery hangs to the right. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue, so this is a photograph of an event decoration.
