A large black stone statue of a four-armed deity seated in a cross-legged pose on a rock base, wearing an orange saffron cloth draped over the body and a folded orange head wrap. Garlands of red roses, white flowers and yellow marigolds hang from the shoulders, and rudraksha-style beads adorn the neck and waist. The statue holds a trident and other ritual objects in its raised hands, with a sculpted small figure at the base. It stands before a bright yellow drape. Small white and red flowers rest at its feet. The image is a photograph of a statue, not a living person, and the deity form is not clearly identifiable.
