Closeup of idol of Hindu deity Krishna standing in pearl "chain mail" (gold undergirding), a matching dome-shaped crown, and a similarly clad staff in right hand, left hand on front left waist, wearing pearl-clad shoes. A string of alternating bands of red and white flowers around Krishna shoulder-shoulder. An ornate gilded shield behind Krishna. The exact structure of the field is unclear (because the complete shield is not visible).

A large oval-shaped gilded radiant shield behind Krishna with several rows of human-like faces embossed at the top half, a row of arms in the middle portion, and a row of legs at the bottom. The embossed shapes together are designed to emanate from the main idol to illustrate a supreme being with several faces, arms, and legs. A string of banded red and white flowers around the shield.
