A carved dark wooden statue of a four-armed goddess stands on a lotus-shaped wooden pedestal inside a bright, carpeted hall. She holds lotus buds in two raised hands and has open palms at her sides, wears a layered necklace, beaded sash and a draped skirt, and has a tall topknot. A green and yellow painted lotus base sits behind her. To the left is a larger carved wooden deity figure. In the background a table is draped with an orange cloth and displays items, and a gold railing is visible. This is a photograph of a murti, not a living person.
