Outdoors among green trees, a dark stone statue of a multi-armed deity seated on a pedestal is draped in orange fabric and garlanded with yellow marigolds and purple-and-maroon flowers. It holds ceremonial objects in its raised hands and wears an orange robe, an orange-and-maroon headwrap and a rudraksha mala. Beside it stands a young man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and an orange robe with a rudraksha mala, looking downward with one hand placed at his stomach. Silver ornamental carved arch panels frame the scene.
