A large black stone statue stands under a silver-finished arch framed by green tree foliage. The figure wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulders and an orange turban-like headwrap, with a red bindi on the forehead. Multiple garlands of yellow and white marigold-type flowers, purple blossoms and red roses hang across the chest. The statue has several arms: one hand holds a trident-like staff, another a damaru-style drum or lotus-bud object, and others are raised in blessing or held at the waist. This is a deity murti, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
