A large dark stone or wooden murti of a multi-armed deity stands on a black pedestal before a magenta velvet drapery. The figure wears a tall ornate crown, heavy gold and white paisley-patterned jewelled necklaces, large earrings, armlets and a jewelled waist belt. An orange-red cloth with yellow stripes is draped over the lower body. A tall gold spear with a leaf-shaped head, marked with a small red-and-white emblem, rises beside the figure on the left, and a carved serpent curls behind the legs. The deity murti is the sole subject; no physical people are visible.
