A black-and-white photograph of a metal or stone deity murti standing within an arched frame, adorned with a tall crown-like headdress, a vertical tilak mark on the forehead, layered garlands and a long draped cloth. Its raised hands hold ceremonial emblems, and a small ritual vessel sits at the base beside stone steps. No living people are visible, and the image appears to show a statue rather than a person.
