A white marble statue of a female figure, possibly a saint or goddess murti, stands in a temple shrine. She wears an olive-green headcloth and matching green sari-style drape, with a red bindi on her forehead, gold necklaces set with green stones, and layered red and orange beaded malas. Her right hand is raised in abhaya mudra. Behind her are garlands of red roses and yellow flowers, a teal silk cloth with gold dots, and gold-and-orange ornamental fabric. The figure is a statue, not a living person.

A decorated deity murti dressed in a white cloth with a gold waist ornament and multiple rudraksha mala strands, framed by long garlands of red roses and white flowers that hang down both sides. A golden cobra-hood canopy with green stones rises behind the head, and an orange and gold cloth drapes the seat. In front, a white marble statue of a seated figure wears a yellow robe and yellow turban with a red bindi, a jewelled necklace and a rudraksha mala, with one hand raised in blessing. A brass oil lamp and a small brass bowl sit at the lower edge. Photograph shows no physical people in the scene.
