A dark stone statue of a four-armed deity seated on a carved black rock pedestal, draped in a bright pink cloth with purple edging and a pink headcloth. Red and yellow flower garlands hang from the shoulders and arms, and multiple strands of rudraksha-style brown beads cross the chest. One hand holds a trident-like implement and another a drum-like object, while the raised palm shows a blessing gesture. A pink satin backdrop frames the figure, and the carved base depicts smaller figures and an animal. This is a deity murti, not a living person.

The murti has four arms, wears a pink-red wrap, a red-and-gold bead necklace with a large pendant, and a red turban with a tilak on the forehead. Yellow and red marigold-and-rose garlands drape over both sides of the figure. The statue is a murti, not a person, so no physical people are present.
