A photograph of a large deity murti heavily decorated with layered garlands of marigolds and roses in yellow, red, orange and white, arranged in a dense fan-shaped pattern over the figure's body and arms. Strands of flowers hang from pillars on either side, and a brass oil lamp sits at the lower left in front of the deity. No people are visible in the frame; the scene is lit at night in a stone temple setting.
