A black stone statue of a four-armed deity seated on a dark pedestal, draped in a white dhoti and orange-bordered shawl with a saffron head wrap, wearing white and orange flower garlands and a rudraksha mala, with a red bindu on the forehead. Its hands hold a trident-like staff and other ritual objects. The murti is framed by an ornate silver arch set among trees, with scattered orange flower petals at its base. This is a statue, not a person, and no visible identity cue marks it as a portrait of a person.
