Close-up photograph of a large multi-armed deity murti of Devi, painted yellow-skinned with a black cascading mane, a third eye on the forehead, and a red bindi. She wears an elaborate ornate gold, green and pink embroidered crown and jewelled bodice with yellow marigold garlands. Several arms hold a long staff, a pink lotus bud and other weapons and objects. Behind her are painted faces framed by golden decorative panels, and a white metal railing stands in the foreground. The image is a deity murti, not a person, so no physical people are present.
