A large dark stone murti of a deity stands against a plain cream wall, dressed in a royal blue and orange-striped silk sari with gold zari borders and draped in red, green and yellow fabric garlands. It wears a black turban with a jewelled ornament, a gold crown-like headpiece, pearl and gemstone necklaces and a floral kundan waist belt. Its raised hand holds a carved tool or weapon. A small dark stone shivalinga-style object sits on a bronze base in front on a yellow cloth, and a maroon curtain hangs at the left edge. The figure is a statue, not a person, so no physical people are present.
