Close-up photograph of a gilded metal deity murti decorated for alankaram, wearing an ornate jewelled crown with red, green and white stones and a dangling white bead tassel. The face has painted eyes, a red bindi and red lips, with a pearl and gem necklace above a deep maroon velvet bib covered in gold-bordered gem medallions, pearls and gold coin garlands. The murti holds a golden parrot on its raised hand and a gold ceremonial vessel. Red and green fabric is visible behind the figure against a stone wall.
