A large white statue of seated Shiva stands atop a brick and stone gateway arch set into a tall red-brick boundary wall on a grassy hillock. The deity murti has blue-throated skin, a crescent-topped matted hair crown, gold ornaments and a rudraksha mala, with a trident-like staff raised beside him. A small golden dome and green trees rise behind the wall under a clear blue sky. Dry grass, scattered stones and shrubs fill the foreground. No people are visible.
