Idol of Hindu deity Krishna in shiny red ("grape red") standing casually on a gold-covered pedestal with left leg leaning rightward, right leg bent at the knee and crossing over the left leg, and right ankle lifted up; wearing gold shoes, gold palm coverings, an orange turban with a head ornament that looks like a peacock feather, and lots of gold ornaments; holding a gilded flute between hands. A thick string of green holy basil leaves and a string of white flowers (some red roses) around Krishna. A gilded cow stands behind Krishna with its head turned back and gazing at Krishna's feet. Several leaf-filled stalks of green holy basil behind the cow. Two female figurines, both dressed mainly in blue, stand in front of Krishna, one on each of his sides. The whole setting simulates Krishna standing under a dense tree with a cow behind him, and women adoring him.
