A dark stone murti of a deity with four arms stands inside a silver-framed arched niche against a teal cloth backdrop, outdoors among trees. The figure wears an orange and red headcloth, a heavy gold and beaded necklace, and a red-and-orange draped cloth, and holds ritual objects in its upper hands. Garlands of orange marigolds and red flowers hang over the shoulders, and a long gold bead chain drapes across the arch. The statue is a murti, not a living person, and no people are visible.
