A gilded deity murti seated in a silver-framed shrine niche, with a black face marked by a white tripundra and a bright red turban-like cloth. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers hang from both shoulders, and a rudraksha mala with a red centrepiece and a jewelled collar adorn the chest. Two of its raised hands hold a trident and a staff-like implement, and red drapes frame the niche. The figure is a statue, not a physical person, so no living person is present and no a person candidate is visible.
