A black stone murti of a four-armed deity seated in an arched white stone niche with an orange-red cloth backdrop, set among trees on sandy ground. The deity wears a red and white flower garland, a multi-strand bead necklace, a white forehead band and a tiered crown, and holds a trident-like weapon and a lotus or bell in its upper hands. A small flower offering rests at its feet on a black pedestal. The murti is a statue, so no physical people are present.
