A photograph of a deity murti set within an ornate golden and copper-toned arched frame with carved floral and scrollwork detailing. The murti wears a tall yellow cylindrical headpiece studded with beads and a green stone, and is adorned with pink and white flower garlands. In front, a brass plate holds white and pink flowers and a small brass lamp with a flame, beside a brass tumbler and spoon. A hand at the left edge holds the plate, and an orange cloth and pink silk draping appear at the base. This appears to be a puja or naivedyam offering scene in progress.
